Tronxy X1 Fanmount/duct combodeal

I decided to improve my Tronxy X1's hotend fanduct and add a parts cooling fan. The hotend fan now focuses solely on the heatsink, ensuring the heater block itself doesn't cool down as much. This results in a faster warm-up time and more stable hotend temperatures. The circular fan was chosen to cool from all sides, and it performs well. Printing with minimal clean-up and easy installation was a top priority in design. Here are the necessary hardware components for the hotend fan: none! The stock hardware can be reused if you choose to stick with the original setup or go without a fan cover. If you print one like I did, the 4 fanbolts need to be longer. The required hardware for the parts fan includes: * 4 x M3x30 for 40x40x20 fans or M3x20 for 40x40x10 fans * 1 x M3x10 * 5 x M3 hexnuts I weighed the total, and the stock metal part weighs around 80 grams. The PLA parts and extra 40x40x20 also come in at about 80 grams. The Benchy fan shield can be found here: thing:2763680 Sharing thoughts, results, or any feedback is greatly appreciated!
