While modeling MK8 into Solidworks, I figured out a better way and more efficiently to remove the heat.
I integrated the heatsink into the base plate.
This is the normal MK8
With the normal MK8 design the air flow is limited to one side of the heatsink, except the 8mm hole in the middle of the heatsink.
The heat from the nozzle moves into the heatsink with some air gaps, then gets removed by the fan.
And this is my design
The heat from the nozzle gets transferred into the "built in" heatsink much more efficiently and the airflow is not worse than the original design.
Not big deal here, I thought I can save one part by doing it this way.
