Description

Unfortunately, Solidoodle has under sized the stepper motor used on the X axis (NEMA14), resulting in you having to overdrive it past its normal limits. Because of this the motor runs pretty hot, even more so when used in an enclosure.

I tried using heat sinks on the motor, but it would still get too hot and eventually skip steps on long prints. I decided some active cooling was required.

Others have published fan mounts, but I couldn't find any that seemed to fit very well, so I just designed my own.
