E3D V6/Volcano Creality hotend mount with BLTouch/ EZABL

A CFD analysed and optimised mount and part cooling duct for E3D V6 and Volcano hotends, to mount on the standard Creality X carriage.
It's designed to generate a focused, converging cooling flow from a single 5015 blower.
This is a revision of an earlier proven design.
All parts will print without support. 4 walls and a top/bottom thickness of 1.2mm will produce strong, durable parts. I'd suggest PETG.
EZABL offset: X = 43.3, Y = 0.
BLTouch offset: X =34.6, Y = 0
Requires 2off M3 x 30 countersunk bolts to clamp heatsink.
1off M3 x 25 countersunk bolt to secure 5015 fan.
Duct and ABL mount both require 1off M3 x 15 socket head bolt.
Each bolt threads into a M3 nut.
6/3/19: A few tweaks to the mount and clamp bar. The mount now has clearance for the 4.5mm hotend studs on the newer Creality X carriages, and the clamp bar is now secured using 2off M3 x 30 cap head bolts.
