Printing in PLA makes me happy :)
PLA that skips on the hobbed bolt due to the extruder stepper getting too hot makes me sad :(
This is a cooler for the UP / Afinia extruder stepper.
From a 40mm fan, this surrounds the stepper motor with cool air on both sides and finally diverting the air upwards to not make ABS prints warp.
It almost completely encases the stepper from underneath as well to block the hot air from the heaterblock.
UPDATE: added a snorkel for the other side of the 40mm fan so that it dosen't pick up hot air blown off the heaterblock. PRINT THIS! It really makes a big difference!
UPDATE 2: Added Pro-Desktop file for Adam. :)
