Creality CR6 CR-6 SE Breakout Board Cover with LED Strip mount for 40mm Part-Cooling Fan by SANGER_A2

This cover is great, but it doesn't work if you use a 40mm hot-end cooling fan. Basically all I did was chop a chunk off the side to account for the larger fan.
I also wanted to be able to mount an LED strip to the side of it instead of the awful stock LED. Please note the holes are moved further forward in the model than in my pictures as not everyone will be using such narrow bolt heads to prevent them hitting the stock LED mount.
I've got three different versions here. One suitable for 40mm fans, another suitable for 40mm fans with mounting holes for the LED strip mount and the other is the original cover with holes for LED strip mounting.
You WILL need to print with supports for this. I chose to print in the original orientation with the supports on the inside for a cleaner look - but you could rotate to have the front face of in on the bed it to reduce the amount of supports needed - but your surface finish on the top mounting plate will still need supports and won't look as good. I printed in PTFE just in case it gets warm and for the extra strength.
Don't use bolts longer than 9mm to mount this to the hot-end cable connector or they will push the connector outwards and make it wonky. I used even smaller M3 bolts to mount the LED strip mount (I cut all the bolts to be the perfect length with a hacksaw).
I can't be bothered to shrink all my images to under 500k, so there are lots more in my posted make.
