Print one of each part.
Put a M3x18 or longer bolt through the two parts to create a joint.
Use M3 bolts to attach a 40mm x 40mm x 10mm fan.
Attach to the top of the X carriage using the four existing accessory bolts.
Angle the fan so it is pointing down towards the hotend and tighten the bolt at the joint.

Nice one. I uploaded the 2 files into TinkerCad and printed them together. Small bit of filing and we were there. First upgrade! Thanks.

Really helpful thanks for putting this together and publishing. Should take care of some of that excess heat.
