Any source where I can purchase a couple of magnets? The only amazon link I've found is for 20 magnets.
Also, this is designed for cylindrical magnets, right?
I wasn't able to print this because the inner circle wouldn't stay on the bed. What should I do to print this or could someone print this for me?
The slots I had cut near the top of the duct were to throw a little extra air at the top of the hot end, I haven't tried running it with a thermocouple up there yet, to see what the difference is. I thought that for ABS, a higher temperature extrusion would help keep the strength up, and having the airflow up top would help protect the PEEK.
It might also improve PLA prints, since you generally want a shorter melt zone.

any chance this could be modified for the new square hotends? and it seems there is a screw keeping me from being able to install it high enough up anyways :(
