Summary
This bracket allows you to remove the 40mm fan and heatsink from the extruder and mount the fan above the stepper motor.
It also provides strain relief to the cables going to the extruder.
It has been tested with extruder temperatures up to 245'C and the extruder top block remains cool to the touch.
Moving the heatsink and fan away from the end of the extruder allows better access when loading filaments and also reduces fan noise.
