I've decided to rename the "hotend holder" to "heatsink holder" since that is more accurate.:

As you can see, I've had to change how I design the holder because I need to take into account the size of the allen wrench.
Anyway, following on from the previous log, putting the heatsinks into the bowden couplers was such an ordeal that I decided that I was going to redesign the heatsink holder instead of run a new test print.
It took 3 hours of thinking, but I was able to arrive at a solution that doesn't have any geometric intersections and allows me to have full access to the heatsinks before installing the assembly to the holder:



Also note that I've designed it so that there's no front/back orientation. Over the course of this project, I've accidentally put the heatsink holder on backwards.
