Pre-Problem solving (flashforge creator pro) by GenErik

I've been doing some research into the creator pro, and as I wanted to design something that would really benefit me if I win (hopefully), my design had to solve some real problems that others are having. From what I've found out, the extruder's wire bundle needs bracing & the part cooling fan needs a complete overhaul. So with inspiration (and measurements) from the various designs online, I attempted to create a mod that solves both those issues.
The assembly comes in three parts; the main cover, the left air duct, and the right air duct. The cover is designed to brace the wire bundle, but also to house a 50x50x15 blower fan on either side. They should slot into the cutouts tightly, but can be secured with a nut and bolt through the hole. The air ducts clip into the main cover, giving each extruder it's own part cooling fan.
Of course I have no way to test this design, or iterate and fix any of the issues it might have. But that's why I need the printer.
