[BV3D REMIX] Creality V6 40mm Hotend & Fan Mount

Description

Hello 3D Printing Friends! **NOTE: The original designer, Hangtight, fixed the issues with the original parts. I recommend you use those instead of what I've done here.** ORIGINAL MODEL: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3356523 This remix fixes a problem I had with the "Creality V6/ Volcano/ J12 Hiflow 40mm Hotend Fan Mount" by Hangtight. In particular, several of the screw holes were far too small for M3 screws, and the pockets for the M3 hex nuts required to mount the fan duct and bed probe needed work. One of the pockets just wasn't deep enough to accept an M3 nut, and so the hole in the nut wouldn't line up with the hole for the screw. I didn't discover this until AFTER I spent hours printing the parts, and a few hours more trying to file out the screw holes to be large enough to take M3 screws. From Hangtight's description of the original model, Fusion 360 was screwing with the files, so that's probably what caused the holes to be too small. There weren't any problems with the ductwork from the original model, so you'll need to get the duct from there. Hopefully this saves someone else some time and prevents frustration when trying to use this model! Here's a video detailing the process I went through to remix these parts. https://youtu.be/cqXREenL3zs -- BV3D: Bryan Vines
