Perhaps a daft question but do you blow cool air onto the extruder or do you suck hot air away from it?

You would normally blow cool air - not on the extruder itself, but on the extruded material to make it cool faster.

hello, i read the source code but i can't find how to specify the distance between fan holes... could you help me? ;)

The model is designed for 40x40 mm fans with 3 mm mounting holes, which should be a standard fit.

I thought this looked familiar! Nice work :)

Thank you for the inspiration! Your design didn't fit my hot-end length, so designed a new one - based on your idea.
