All credit to the original designers!My CAD skills are non-existent, I simply managed to butcher their hard work to make what worked for me with an Artillery Sidewinder X1 + Mellow NF-Wind + Volcano + BL-TouchI read the comment on the original design about reducing the height of the shell to prevent it hitting the bed and after taking some measurements, I altered it in tinkercad.I found that when I attached the BL-Touch to the sliding mount it made it hard to connect the wiring loom because with the wind extruder, the BL-Touch rides quite high up on the mount, meaning the wiring loom fouled on the bottom of the motor mount; so I modified the stationary part of the BL-Touch motor mount by cutting away the bottom section to provide more clearance when connecting the wiring loom.  Much better.The fan mount I found on thingiverse ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4592302 ) and after approaching the original designer - but not receiving a response - I decided to modify it (the original includes a BL-Touch mount) as I did not want my BL-Touch hanging off the same two M2 screws that the 4020 blower is attached to!  I left the vertical rib on the rear right hand side as this effectively braces the two M2 screws against the plastic half of the wind extruder providing much needed lateral stability!  The extra mass in the thickness of the blower mount also seems (so far) to be preventing any warping :-)I have upgraded all my fans/blowers to Winsinn dual BB versions, so I printed a stock 4020 blower duct/nozzle and hot glued it on.  Really works well.  This is the duct I printed: https://www.printables.com/model/141164-sidewinder-x1-stock-fan-duct Check out the pics of the overhang test I printed with this fan/duct combo. I think they are o.k.I also added a BL-Touch cover from thingiverse which stops the annoying red light spoiling my timelapses - I chose the one with the arrow cutouts: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4905040Print settings:0.4mm nozzle0.2mm layer height0.44 line width20% infill8mm brimRoughly 6.5hrs to print.First time round, I printed everything in PLA+ however I had not adjusted VREF on my extruder stepper driver (it ran hot as a consequence) and it deformed the motor mount.I reprinted the motor mount in PETG and it has been fine since.  I have only just adjusted VREF (from ~1v down to ~0.6v) and the stepper is now running @ normal temperature again.My advice would therefore be to print everything except the motor mount in one go in PLA+.The motor mount I advise printing in PETG - It will work in PLA+ but might warp due to contact with the stepper motor.  YMMVI later printed the Stock Fan Duct and BL-Touch cover (whose .stls are not included here) together, however, I printed both of these on rafts to guarantee good adhesion.  I initially printed these in PLA+ but may switch to PETG.
