Water cooling cabinet

thingiverse

If you use water cooling on your printer, a neat housing is available to package the radiator and water pump in a compact way.\r\n\r\nThe base of this housing is designed to be watertight, so if some water leaks out, it will not come out of the water cabinet. \r\nThe hoses connecting the various parts are a bit too stiff to fit inside this small box, so we have added a few connectors that you can print. A 90 Deg connector goes at the top and has a version that can also hold a temp sensor. If you use a temp sensor, the front panel has a section that you can push out to fit the temp display.\r\n\r\nBoth connectors need to be watertight. This is achieved by coating them with liquid epoxy. We have since found this nice instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printing-Make-Water-Tight-and-Air-Tight-Contain/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email\r\n\r\nThe front panel also has two barbed nipples on the inside for the water hoses and two 1/8" gas thread holes on the outside so you can screw in any connector you need for the hoses to the hot end. It is tapered 1/8" thread designed into the print. \r\n\r\nThere is a small slot at the back to guide the wires out. \r\nAlso included are four little feet, best printed in a flexible material. They also hold the base and the lid together with M3x35 mm cap screws.\r\n\r\nThe following pump and radiator were used by us and fit this water cabinet.\r\nPump : 12V DC Ultra-quiet Water Pump & Pump Tank is used for PC Liquid Cooling computer\r\nRadiator : Aluminum 80mm Water Cooling cooled Row Heat Exchanger is used for CPU, PC computer
