UPDATED:
I realized that I really made the walls to thin, and the supports to small. So Ver2 corrects those issues, and I tried to make it easier to print at a standard 0.4 dia nozzle @ standard 0.2-layer height.
I've also included a STEP file for those who want to modify it more easily.

I liked the idea from Muddy Cube (I actually had the idea in my head but decide to search to see if someone else had already done it, bingo), but found the minor issues of not being able to easily remove the silicone sock, and the air flow just wasn't quite right.
The default ducting from Creality tends to literally blow my prints to the back of the printer, and Muddy Cube was close… but not quite right to my liking.
I'm not the greatest at manipulating STL files, so I ended up starting from scratch in Fusion3d and after many test prints, I have something I like (you may too). The main goals were:
As for printing: The final print was done in PLA with a 0.20mm nozzle with no supports lying flat on the print bed with Cura (sorry, but I'm more fluent with Cura than Prusa)
I haven't had an issue with PLA temperatures with “melting” the ring. I haven't done any higher temperature prints, yet. But I think the clearance is sufficient to allow high temperature printing, but upgrade to a higher melting point material if so desired.
The only downside I have found is that if you have a camera, it does block your view quite a bit. But that outweighs the nicer prints I have been able to produce.
