ApolloLander 2025

Some of you may have noticed a new Apollo 2025 model in the shop (or mentioned on discord), not all hotend have been converted to it, but slowly happening (feel free to request a hotend to be updated sooner rather than later later).
The backplate got a few minor tweaks (tighter tolerance, and a few other little things)
The main body got the back shaved off for better hotend cable access

These can be mixed and matched with 2024 model.
It was also for me to rework fresh CAD file as my old ones were unstable and would crash Fusion — this allowed supporting new setup from the start (ender5 main body model, sprite extruder, etc)

It's not worth reprinting if you have one setup already, however if you have to print a new one I would recommend it.
I dropped BMG support (the old plate still exist, just not updated and again is compatible with the 2025 main body model), and would recommend you convert the guts to a sherpa mini or sherpa micro instead. You'd need a round nema14 motor, but the sherpa mini/micro is a printable extruder.
Sprite Extruder is also supported by default, and front facing sherpa micro extruder.
Ender5 Main body also included by default
Semi related to the 2025 model, but in the common accessories zip there are new ducts
Crossflow 2025 which will work on all hotends, but has been specifically tuned to better aim further back at hotend like stock and dragonfly BMS
And also made different height version of it for different hotend minor height difference
Finally for the crazy among you, the SuperFan/Ultrafan backplate is also added, using cheap micro drone motor to make 5015 printed fans with symmetrical setup - still considered a beta setup, if not alpha, only regarding the overall setup, physically everything fits perfectly.

=================================================

So far these hotend have been updated and made some renders for each one (shown are the rail backplate but they of course still all have wheel version except for two of them)
