This custom print head allows more room on the inside for the wires so they don't get crimped when screwing on the print head and make sit easier to swap a fan and makes it easier to see the hot end as well. The cooling vents are designed to be lower and closer to the nozzle and from the prints I have done in PLA and ABS, i have noticed no problems with temperature fluctuations.

There are holes on the back of the model (not all the way through the model) that line up with the back plate that can be used for heated inserts or you can drill through and use a nut and bolt method.

I printed mine out of ABS since I do a lot of ABS printing, PLA+ or PLA Pro, or PETG I imagine would be fine if you aren't doing much ABS or higher temp printing.

Print orientation I used was printing it upside down with tree supports on, and put support blockers on the cooling vents so there wouldn't be any under them or inside them. 

I have noticed no issues with any prints after installing this Print head, the size does not limit its travel in anyway and the cooling vents seem to perform just as well if not better.

(Please disregard my wires and use of tape, I have been too busy to clean up/ shorten the wires, so for now a temporary solution with tape is being used)
