With My Hictop I started with the basic parts cooling fan Duct. this was very basic and would not allow me to ever 3D Print a simple Bridge.

I keep looking at all the different designs though some did not allow even even the simplest of views of the printing part.

This made in near impossible to see.

So I developed a right Hand cooling Duct that worked for me with an extra vent to cool the throat nozzle fins I installed.

This could be modified for a left handed person below is what I came up with.

Not a bad version though too still too weak, just like the original Duct.

In order to get the Proper cooling I am using extruder 2 as the parts Duct Fan speed controller.

This means that in order to print multi-colored models I need to swap filament during prints .

As in this Space X launch pad coaster.

The above print turned out much better than I expected

Though there are many models where you can simply print each part in a single color filament and assemble into a Color Model . as in Mario below.
