Liquid Cooled Flashforge! Extruder + XYZ Nema Motors.
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!
Please "Watch" to follow progress updates for additional photos, files and instructions.
I noticed my Nema 17 motors get hot.
I have a CNC Machine.
I have scrap aluminum etc.
I am crazy.
Sooo I decided to make liquid cooling blocks.
Print tank parts,
Print a few water pumps,
etc.
Yes I did "Free hand" the milling of the aluminum. That way nobody can say they are commercially bought. Plus I broke two 1/8th milling bits on my first tool path before going 1/4th" so whatever. No big deal.
I made 4 cooling blocks for 5 Nema 17s. One block is double wide for the extruders.
I will print hose fittings, tank corners, water pumps, and water block to Nema fittings.
Stay tuned.
Update May 4th 2014: Added pump files, and dual print version of pump. Nozzle next.
