Skelestruder Mosquito

UPDATE 6/17/2019: Don't forget to get the other parts not included with this remix from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2845416, as well as instructions for printing and assembling the extruder. Assembly is slightly different due to the absence of the E3D v6 CageS that normally shielded its bottom. Hey everyone! This project is still in beta, but I've printed a bit with it already. It's JLTX's excellent design with the Cage B, F, and shroud modified to fit the Mosquito hotend. Everything else remains unchanged. My goal was to keep the tip of the extruder nozzle at the same height as the E3D v6 version, so that should be roughly equivalent. To prevent the hotend from rotating, I narrowed up the fan shroud hole and exit corner so that the Mosquito fits snugly into a groove on both sides. This also means that the air will hit slightly less of the heatsink's extremities, but I'm not sure if that will affect it much or not (I also did this as I hoped it would disrupt the airflow less ...not knowing how the airflow is affected when it slams into the perpendicular face of the heatsink). There are two different types of mounts: a full printable version and a spacer used when you use the Printed Solid adapter for the Mosquito. Print whichever one you need. I'm hoping I got the STL files oriented correctly for printing (I always seem to fail at that), but if not, just flip them to the printable side. I'll go through and try to correct any that are wrong. For printing, I used Chris's Pretty PETG V3 profile with 3 perimeters, 20% gyroid infill, and 5 layers for top/bottom.
