Customizable adjustable fan holder for the MK8 extruder. Fan holders for any custom size fan can be made and then attached on the left and/or right side of the extruder then adjusted for height and tilt.
While using the customizer, you may select each individual part to preview using the "Part" drop down menu which is available in all tabs. To have a zoomed in view of an individual part go to the [Build plate] tab and set the "Show Build Plate" dropdown to "No". You may also tweak the display of the build plate here in accordance with your own printer platform.
Get a good measurement for the distance (in the Y-axis) from the center of your extruder nozzle to the front plate mounting surface of your MK8 and set this value for noz_yoffset in the [Fan/duct] tab. It was 8mm for my MK8 but I've seen variation on this between different extruders. This measurement is used to make sure the output of the duct vent is aimed directly at the tip of the nozzle.
Depending on where the wires
