I wanted to change my bed leveling process from mesh using a dial caliper to tramming or quazi tramming using a NPN sensor, but I couldn't find a mount to work with the fang I printed. (CR-10 Fang for 40x40x20mm Fan Cooler by SanderPuh)

Its like my Harley, I do it because it looks cool and offers performance and style. But I either didn't scour hard enough or couldn't find a mount that worked for me, so I made one.
I'm a huge "fan" of Noctua fans, their quiet and they saved my marriage (Just Kidding). I'm in a two bedroom apartment and sometimes have 2 printers going while watching a movie, that competes with the constant AC running here in the Vegas area. I have two Noctua 40x20's just on my hot end. One for the fang the other for the heatsink. And I enjoy printing with PLA. Everything I've read, said you need to get or should try to get the sensor as close as you can to your nozzle as possible. After multiple prototypes and still dealing with the learning curve with Fusion360 this is what I came up with.
Just a quick note, I used the self tapping screws supplied in the Noctua fan kit, to connect the mount to the fan face worked like a charm.
