K40 laser cooling system

thingiverse

I wanted to be able to chill the water for my K40 laser if necessary. If the water gets too warm, I simply place a frozen half-gallon of water in the bucket and it will cool it down quickly. Assembly is straightforward. Just cut a hole in the bucket lid and drill mounting holes and screw it together. I printed the tabs separately to reduce print time and avoid using supports for all of it. I just mounted the top section into the lid and then glued the brackets to the corners with epoxy. I used four 150mm threaded M8 stainless rods and 16 stainless M8 nuts. I also drilled holes and glued three-eighths inch hose barbs into the lid to connect the supply and return hoses.
