The Shorter Hesine M-505, Anet A8 - Center Nozzle Fan is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by tinkertomsthings. I remixed this because using Don1337's carriage with my V6 clone had the duct almost even with the nozzle tip causing it to occasionally hit the print. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.

About this model

I remixed this because using Don1337's carriage with my V6 clone had the duct almost even with the nozzle tip causing it to occasionally hit the print. All this does is brings it up a couple mm's to allow clearance. Arjjck's Center Nozzle Fan has been the best duct to date I have used. No fancy stuff needed.
