This is a quick disconnect adapter for a 40mm fan. I was originally planning to use this design on my extruder so that I can dismount the fan tool-lessly while changing filaments.
I originally had a heatsink between my fan and the filament feed area, but after removing the heatsink I'm not noticing any substantial changes in the temperature of the extruder plate, so I'm going to say it's safe to use just a fan without the heatsink, and to use the quick disconnect to gain easy access to the filament feed area
