Description

After Noticing that my extruder motor was getting really hot during prints, i decided to do some research and see if there is something i can do about it. I found an extruder cooler fitting but was not of my taste.
Since i am a StarWars Fan i decided to design something more appropriate and better looking.
So Here is a Lord Vader Helmet Extruder Cooler!
On top of the helmet you can mount a 40mm fan with 3mm Screws. This can be a 12v fan that will be powered by an external power supply or a 5v one that will be powered by the ETSY board just like the extruder fan.

May the force be with your prints.

Print instructions

A gcode is provided with the appropriate setup for the prusament petg and the required supports.

You will also need 4 3mm screws and a 40mm 5v or 12v fan that depending on the voltage can be powered by either the ETSY board or an external power supply.
Use it preferably as a suction fun that will suck air from the side helmet vents and send it upwords and not as a blower.

Since the vents are sideways there shoulnd be any direct draft on your prints and should reduce the stepper motor temperature.

This is the first version of the cooler and there will be followups and upgrades in the near future depending on how it performs.

Enjoy.
