### Description
Originally a project to slap 5020 blower fans onto Mantis, this toolhead variant started as an attempt to improve parts cooling, spurred on by Derpimus' noted cooling woes on his DOOMCube. After finding that the 5020s were just plain too fat to fit without looking like a standard Ender 3 Thingiverse special, I abandoned the large fan dream in favor of better cooling efficiency and lighter weight. This new and improved dream was also corrupted by my then budding and now all-consuming love for worm gears.

## Build Notes:
### Build Notes:
This toolhead might require other modifications to retain full functionality of your printer.
- All test machines used for this mod had Rama's front idlers which have a much lower profile compared to stock Voron front idlers. The fan assemblies might conflict and reduce usable X travel.
- The Klicky Probe carriage that was adapted was originally designed for the Dragon hotend. You'll need to use a taller probe body to reach the bed such as the one used by [Unklicky BFP](https://github.com/majarspeed/Unklicky). *This isn't an issue for Euclid or PCB Klicky*.
