Titan Aero mount for Tevo Tarantula

Titan Aero Mount for Tevo Tarantula Stock X Carriage. Made this because all other options for mounting an Aero required replacing the entire X carriage with a printed one, which had too many potential issues to my liking. This mount prints in about two hours with the given settings and uses only around 30 grams (10.5 meters) of 1.75 PLA filament. Suggestions and Notes: -Part cooling fan: Check out this link https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2567051, designed by Campy - not me! Thanks, Campy! -The little hook on top helps you get better leverage to pull back the idler lever. Assembly Instructions: -Snap Titan body onto place and slide to align holes. -Hold motor (with gear on shaft and grub screw on the motor side) on the back, align holes, and fasten with a short screw through the hole in the Titan body located near the output coupler area. -Mount on X carriage. The holes can self-tap, but it's better to use long nuts and bolts with washers. -Follow any Titan Aero assembly guide for the rest. The only caveat with this mount is that your hotend will be offset about 20mm forward. This means your nozzle will home off the bed, and you'll lose access to 20mm of bed space from the back unless you slide forward the Y extrusion 20mm (Risk of losing frame squareness. Attempt only if you have a center mounting bracket installed on the printer). This may not be an issue with small beds, but I'm unsure since I have a large bed. You'll also lose about 10mm of X travel if you install the suggested part cooling fan as it hits the stock control board box.
