anycubic mega i3 better cooling

* Did some major updating: 1. duct points more down towards the bed. Without the silicone sock it would cool the extruder to the point where the heater couldn't keep up. 2. I removed un-necessary material above fan, leaving a hole to make it easier to plug in the fan 3. I added material inside so it goes from round to square improving airflow. I think the screw bosses were trapping flow. As with most cheaper printers, the extruder cooling is not sufficient to give good surface finish. Tried to integrate a 5015 blower fan but the CFM was still low. Decided to go with a 60mm axial fan as the one I found pushes almost 30CFM. The fan mount will completely replace the existing outer metal cover. The heatsink fan will be re-used. You will need to buy a 60mm fan and re-use the existing connector (IE solder in the old connector). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K2Y9XSH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You will also need Seven M3 x 10mm long SHCS, and four M3 x 35mm long SHCS: https://www.mcmaster.com/91292A113/ https://www.mcmaster.com/91292A033/ There is an optional fan cover. Not necessary, but if an object were to fall on the back it could damage the fan fins. Neither file needs supports. https://youtu.be/tEnu7e1zWKo
