switched out the bltouch mount position for the blower. struggled with making sane supports, still need to fix that

did some heat break testing. wanted to see if the casing of the hotend would get hot so i wired up the thermistor+heating element onto the board. waited a few minutes with a cheap fan i had pointed at the heat sink and it didn’t seem to get very hot so that’s a win for the future 3d printed mount. also i soldered the header to and wired up the accelerometer
mounted the bltouch. it kinda occludes the hotend fan but there shouuulllldd be enough space to not choke it up too bad, assuming it’s not total garbage (doubtful)
tried to find a good part cooling fan position too and they’re all strange looking
got models for bltouch and 5015 fans
surprisingly annoying, neither have official models and one model i found online for the bltouch was weird (holes that were supposed to be 18mm were like 17.998mm) and so i immediately gave up and made my own.
it looks really bad but it should be usable dimensionally
tried a bunch of alternatives for the 5015 fan. tried an alternative manufacturer but it differed too much from the other two community models (which were extremely similar to each other), so i just picked the more popular one.
Couldn’t really model this one myself because I don’t have calipers to measure the dimensions and don’t have the fans yet to begin with
did more work on the mount (accidentally forgot to start recording so there’s like an hour of work not listed here)
the extruder part is done. there’s still some weirdness in the cad that I should probably clean but i’m also really lazy
still need to make part for part cooling fans and bltouch

biqu/bigtreetech does not have cad models for the extruder, but someone on printables made a very accurate one that i’m pulling for measurements. Confirmed it with the drawings that were in the “manual” for the h2 v2s
