Description
A hotend shroud for stock creality printers using the MK8 hotend (OEM). "S" versions use m3 screws to secure the front to the base, while "M" versions use 6x3mm magnets. . Remixes encouraged.
NOTE: In addition to fitting over the duct, the part cooling fan need to be tipped slightly and will need a bit of hot glue on the top to hold it securely. It will still be relatively easily removable. We are working on a better solution.
Note: All CR-Touch Versions work without a CR-Touch
