Description
This is the water cooling setup I use in my CorEssentials BETA for the E3D Chimera Aqua. Obviously this will fit most other printers. You can find out more about the machine on GITHUB:
https://github.com/MacNite/CorEssentials
To built this exact setup you will need:
Alphacool Eisbaer Solo
some M3 screws
60x25mm fan
G1/4 mounts for your choosen tube diameter (for E3D that would be G1/4 to 4mm OD Tube)
LED heatsink like this, needs to be cut to size
The general concept of this cooler / heat exchanger is really simple:
ALPHACOOL Eisbaer is an all in one solution as a Reservoir, Heat-Exchanger / Heatsink and Pump. The LED heatsink and fan are just there to increase the performance. I have also used the ALPHACOOL Eisbaer only mounted to a metal plate of other 3D printers. But obviously this becomes quite in-effective if you use a closed chamber and everything may heat up.
As an additional inspiration you may have a look at the Sparkcube EDGE by Sparklab:
