TronXY X3 / X3A E3D V5 J-Head Mount with 5015 blower duct by leo69

I've been getting great results from my TronXY X3A printer and have been using a regular 40mm fan with a duct. Everyone is raving about blowers so I think I'm going to give it a shot. This mount will fit the TronXY X3/X3A with stock autolevel sensor and Chinese J-Head E3D V5 hot end. Also fits a 5015 blower and allows angulation and height adjustment.
Please look at my profile and see my other E3D mount with 40mm fan and duct. The hot end mount on that design is the same as this one so if you already have the fan/duct set-up you can upgrade to this blower by printing only the blower mount and blower duct. The blower mount needs no print support if place with the large face on the bed. The blower duct also needs no support if printed as shown in the last pic.
Finally, I got a chance to test last night. It works well and you can feel the difference in the volume of air compared to a fan/duct, but ultimately makes little difference in the overall print quality so in my opinion either fan/duct or blower/duct systems are fairly equal.
Hardware/assembly requirements: (2 ea) M4 x 20mm hex socket screws and nuts for blower mount, (5 ea) M3 x 16mm hex socket screws and nuts to mount the hot end to the base, the blower mount to the base, and the autolevel sensor to the base.
