Open Extruder Fan Holder Anet A8 2021

Hello,

After quite a few dismantleing of the Extruder for failt Filament changes, i was fed up. :-(
A new solution for this Problem must be found.

And i have see the new Anet A8 Plus.
There have a new extruder Cooling solution with a small heat sink.

The old Anet A6 / A8 have a big head sink. Something can be done there :-)

and attach it on the Extruder Holder with the lower Screw from the other cooling Fan

Step 5: (Pic 008 to Pic 010)
Place the Heat Sink on the Extruder Holder and mark the drill holes.
After that, drill the holes, 6mm for the extruder Tube, 4mm for the M4 Screw 16mm Fixing Screw

Step 6: (Pic 011)
