Extruder Body and Cover for Prusa MK2 with extra M3n Nuts

Hello everybody!!

I have a Prusa clone 3D printer and after some time the screws holding the hotend fan become loose since they were screw directly on the plastic cover and body of the struder. The two front fan screws hold the capacitive sensor so I understand that those two loose screws were affecting the Z high reading.

So I decided to make a modification of the original Prusa MK2 extruder cover and body to include some M3n nuts to hold the Hot End fan and the Fan Nozzle piece in place avoiding the M3x14 screws being screwed directly to the plastic material (maybe I´m reinventing the wheel but, I didn´t find what I was looking for, so I did).

You can download the .stl files from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4029672

Parts should be printed as usual in PETG with 0,2mm layers with 20% infill.

Just, my two cents... comments and ideas are welcome.
