Tentacles Cooler for MK8 extruder :)

cults3d

This is my new compact high flow cooler design for the MK8 extruder. After trying several different designs, i settled with the Cobra cooler (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1090433) as it provided the best airflow, but it never fitted my printer so i had it held in place by a 1mm aluminium wire harness... i used it for several months, but it was time to design my own that actually fits and doesn't block the view. I used a physical simulation to create the smooth flowing shape of the "tentacles"; based on the first few tests it provides excellent cooling. The two C-shaped clips snap nicely on the extruder motor, and the centrifugal fan screws directly onto them using two standard 3mm screws. The actual cooler nozzle snaps on the fan without the need for anything else (a modified version of the Spriya cooler's head http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2133328). Enjoy!
