Ball joint arm installation

Was just wondering if anybody has ever intentionally installed the effector plate upside down to get the ends of the arms up and away
from the layer fan mount tab.

I upgraded to the E3D V6 all metal during assembly so I really have minimal room under the effector plate as it is for a nozzle.

Is there some reason this doesnt work?....before I take the thing apart. ;)

It shouldn't affect it all that much, and should be easy enough to reverse if it doesn't work. I know I saw a picture of someone who it seems like they had it upside-down without noticing, and they were printing fine.

Well, I flipped it over and it appears to work just fine. I haven't printed anything near the edge of the build plate yet but so far, I'm getting awesome prints from this thing.
