Monoprice Select Mini E3Dv6 GT2 shroud with 3D Touch / BLTouch mount and 40mm fan
Description
This is a remix of the [MPSM E3D V2 Mount GT2 Belt 40mm fan 3d touch](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4467324) by e36ltw with several modifications and additions. I found that on my Monoprice Mini Select v2, the original by e36ltw had the BLTouch / 3D Touch mount too far back, which meant it fouled on the endcap for the gantry. This remix encompasses the following key changes: * the BLTouch / 3D Touch mount is moved forward to avoid fouling the gantry endcap and moved vertically to achieve a better offset, while still allowing the use of the part cooling clip-on fan * the BLTouch / 3D Touch mount has been completely redesigned and incorporates a cable tidy * the mount's own connection/mount to the fan shroud has been redesigned for a neater appearance * two loops for cable ties have been added to the shroud to help with management and strain relief for the heater, thermistor and fan wiring **Installation** The fan shroud can be used with either [USWaterRocket's original E3Dv6 / GT2 carriage](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2353376) or e36ltw's remix of the carriage (I use it with the USWaterRocket's design). The BLTouch / 3D Touch should be mounted with the connector facing outwards per the photos. Given the shape of the probe's casing, this then provides sufficient room to use the clip-on part cooling fan. You may need to swap the orientation of the heater cartridge so that the wiring runs down the left side of the carriage. I added a cable tie loop to help keep the wires out of the way so they don't get caught between the carriage and the body of the Mini when homing the X axis (see photos). A matching cable tie loop is also on the right side to help with any wire management and strain relief on that side. With the thermistor I use, I elected to retain the wiring on the right along with the wiring for the hotend fan (per the photos). I only had a [Trianglelab's 3D Touch](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32949450525.html?spm=2114.12010610.8148356.1.1d776ff00I18lS) on hand to test this with rather than a BLTouch v3.0/3.1. Comparing the schematics between the two suggests there should be minimal difference - the BLTouch has a shorter body but longer probe deployment - so it should work with both, but I am happy to adjust based on feedback. Using a 3D Touch, I measured the probe offset as around X=+26 and Y=+1. I have provided these as a reference point, but you should measure your own installation for accuracy. The BLTouch / 3D Touch mount is a recreation (with modifications) of one of the BLTouch mounts from the [Hero Me Gen 5 suite](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4460970), so full credit to mediaman. I have included both the Fusion 360 and .step files should others wish to modify and remix it further. Enjoy!
