Update 061917: I have uploaded a more up to date version with a wider base to accommodate both smaller style and larger style Bearings that are found on the end of push rods. This will help with clearance issues some people have with the fans as well. I have removed the ability to auto level using the shroud itself and in its place have attachment points for auto leveling sensors. See the link below for the updated shroud:

Update: I have an improved version of V2 See link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1935700
Summary for clarity:
V1 - Original with filament fan location on the side, would require a narrow fan 6mm
V2 - Relocated Filament fan to the top with optional attachments for fan mounting
V3 - E3DV6 Version with the same options as V2
Update 16/11/2016: Added another 30mm Filament fan attachment that has better directional flow for the fan
Update: I have added a version for the shorter E3Dv6. Let me know how it works out. It will have an opdated autolevel arm as well.
Update: I have added a version 2 which relocates the filament fan to the top position and gives you a choice of 30 or 40mm fan shroud for it. I have not printed it out and tested it yet. Have not had time. Will update again when I have a full working print assembled
Update: Fan for heatsink cooling at 10mm thick should be no issues any thicker will have clearance issues. There are clearance issues on the filament cooling fan at 10mm and higher. I am working on a modified version that relocates where this fan mounts.
My latest effector design with shroud, it is a spinoff of one of my more recent effectors but with a twist. It incorporates auto-leveling via endstop switch. The design is as compact as I can make it giving a maximum XY print area as well as an increase in Z height print area as compared to a standard delta style effector. The autoleveling feature is smooth and works nicely once fine tuned. Check out my hands on video of the effector in the Youtube video Below.
