It's starting to look like I mounted a VW Mini Bus to the X axis carriage of the Ender 3. The additional cooling should help though, and I will deal with optimizing for weight when I have this damn thing working. The gray part that is mounted to the Titan Aero is designed to stay on there, which will avoid stripping the fan mounting holes in the heatsink when I need to disassemble it to clear the frequent jams. The black 40mm to 60mm fan adapter slides off the gray mount, using a couple angled rails and tilts towards the camera by 10 degrees to help clear the bolts at the end of the X axis carriage. There is a M4x14mm screw that can be used to lock it in place, and that uses an M4 insert so it will not strip out. One screw and I can slide the fan off now. Overall I am happy with this, but will probably trim it down a bit.
