Thanks! We should have them shipped hopefully within a few weeks. Still waiting on getting the thermistor and heaters crimped. Everything else is already in production.
Setup is up to you to figure out. We use it on smoothie ware. I'll see if we can add some guides maybe, but no promises because there are a lot of firmwares out there. Thermistor # is already on the product page. 24V is not available yet. We will work on making one available after we ship these out first. One thing at a time
And not a problem! Someone had to get rid of the groove mount

We're working on several ideas for all metal version, but it still needs some testing. The next version (or maybe as a separate model) will have the bowden push-fit integrated directly into the heat-sink rather than screw in from the top. Lots of ideas, not enough time

We can't guarantee it will be compatible with any sort of mounting system because we didn't work around any sort of mounting system. We designed our own. That doesn't mean that you can't print out your own custom designed mount
Groove mounts are old fashion and they don't work well.
24V will be in the works after we ship the 12V first. Sign up on our homepage at the bottom to be notified once they become available: deltaprintr.com

Have you thought about adapting the single fan hot-end/print cooler duct here: Thingiverse link to your hot end? If so you could get away with not machining/tapping the fan threads in the aluminium extrusion (since the fan duct just clips in place).
Also if you do that you could also probably just use two screws to mount the fan and save a bit of weight there as well.

The second one but it really doesn't cause as much trouble as you presume it would. Its a compromise sure but not as bad as all that. I printed this Marvin with this setup on a Kossel Mini.

I think you guys are over complicating things a bit
It is much easier to just use 2 fans without adding some motor to act as a shutter, which adds weight and cost and requires more programming.
On top of that, a single fan should not be cooling the hotend and the print. It reduces the airflow to the hotend, which is essential for consistent cooling. Otherwise it will jam.
