Ender3 V2 Afterburner Adaptor

Description

Update: Mount - Beefed up CR-Touch bracket. It was stiff enough but I was a bit ham fisted fixing nuts and snapped it. Was looking for something that looked neat, provided access for maintenance, more cooling than stock and ducts that flow for a Ender3V2 running Klipper. This looked good and is proving to be achieving these. A big plus is that it can use largely stock Afterburner Parts and other Mods. Main change is I joined the two part support bracket to be a bit more robust single piece while still hoping for a simple install. Ended up you do have to loosen then hotend a bit to fit, which is pretty easy but once fitted it's very solid and it can stay inplace while anything else can be removed for maintenance. The advantage of being based on Afterburner. It's missing vertical adjustment but doesn't need it with the stock hotend fitting. This first print is a bit rough. Still at first try it managed a decent looking benchy in 30 minutes. If I reprint I might make some slight changes. It will fit the stock Afterburner files but I've made some changes: - One piece adaptor bracket, stiffened with additional fixings. - Bracket for CR-Touch - Opened up the bottom fan cover to improve view of the head - Deleted some non-functional plastic from lower duct to improve view of head - Added a curved screen for a 24V LED strip - Plastic pins instead of M3 bolts to locate lower duct to bracket. Makes removal easy for maintenance and eliminates rear facing screw. Initially I trialled it using the original 4010 blower in the top cooler location while I waited for the 4020 to turn up. I've included the model for the 4010 fan top piece, it needs the rear section blanked of with a piece of flat plastic. Performance wise with the 4010 it's a bit anaemic and only marginally better than stock setup. 4020 is a lot better. There are files for 5015. Since it's not supporting Hotend prints can be very light with minimal infill. The duct was done in ABS with 2 perimeters and 10%. The Bracket was ABS stiffened with 3 perimeters. Rest was PLA some with one perimeter and no infill, which looks a bit crappy, 2 probably better. I locally reinforced around the anchors with 4 perimeters and 4 layers top and bottom using SupaSlicer, preventing crushing and allowing drilling if needed. All fixing are just self tapping M3 into plastic, it doesn't need to be strong.
