So the problem this helps solve is keeping the PTFE below it's toxic off-gassing temperature. This will help somewhat, especially for shorter prints. I wouldn't trust it for long prints (12+ hours? unsure) without testing.

I'm planning on upgrading the fan on the side to a 40x20mm which should just be longer screws but a direct replacement. I also recommend getting a length of Capricorn PTFE, which from my research, is the most heat resistant tube you can get. Careful to buy reputable, apparently lots of knockoffs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079P92HN9

This guy disassembles the Artillery all metal. The lever is metal, the heater cartridge is different (hotter maybe?), the nozzle is hardened steel, heatbreak is different...
