I needed a little more print area for a RailCore and created a couple of modifications.
First, the fan on a Revo nozzle can be turned almost 90 degrees where the fan blows almost parallel to the Y axis. It doesn't quite make it to 90 degrees as it hits the Y homing switch. Thus the Tall Y end stop switch mount included here will allow the fan to turn fully 90 degrees. To insure the fan doesn't randomly turn away from the desired location, I used a tie wrap to hold it in place. It turns out that my Tongue fan duct is tilting a little, so a tie wrap was used to pull it vertical. A new mount will be installed soon that should get maybe 5 more mm.
Second, an X end stop mount was designed that used the nuts already in the top of the extrusion and goes over the top of the pulley mounts. A simpler mount could be designed if there were nuts in the bottom side of the extrusion but I didn't care to remove the corner blocks to add nuts and risk screwing up the rail location.
