I did this modification because the changing of filament is a pain in the ...
If you don´t have any troubles, you don´t need this modi at all ;)
See it in action: https://youtu.be/wS0gAGX58vc
In this modi the cooling fan is a seperate block and can be opened for better view to the extruder while changing or to get easier access if anything is jammed.
The mechanism is not yet perfect... All the parts have tolerances that means you have to align your system once an than fix it.
UPDATE Cover design 20.01.2017
(New update! But for this you can still use the parts before update!)
I did this update for better cooling. For this solution the position of the heatsink is given but then you have to cut your heatsink after the fourth rib (see picture). The size of the heatsink is enough for cooling the buttom block. You can add thermal paste as well.
I did a 5 hours print -> the block was almost cold!
Fix the Motor and heatsink with two srews on the bottom left/right hole.
