Watercooler for steppermotors

thingiverse

I'm converting my printer to print industrial filament so watercooling the stepper motors seems like a logical next step. Don't mind my subpar cable management skills or DIY experience xD, as the files might need some tweaking from printer to printer to get the clearances just right. These designs are based on use with the Prusa i3 Bear Upgrade v2.0 featuring the Bear Extruder and X axis 0.6.0-alpha MK2.5 MK3. Instructions: - Holders for the Z motors connect to the 2020 frame using M5 screws. The left holder has been moved slightly to allow full movement of the x-axis. - Holder for the Y motor is mounted with the waterblock on the bottom (use an M3 * 40mm screw for self-tapping). Here, you'll need a trusted file to get the clearance just right for the printer bed. - Holder for the extruder is mounted on top facing towards the x motor (use an M3 * 40mm screw for self-tapping). - Holder for the x motor is mounted with the waterblock on the outside of the motor facing up. (Use an M3 * 40mm screw for self-tapping). Things needed are: - 6 * M3 * 40mm screws - 4 * M5 * 8mm + 4 nuts for the V slot (I use spring-loaded tee nuts, which can be dropped in without disassembling the printer) The watercooling pads I got can be found at: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Water-Cooling-Heatsink-Block-Waterblock-Liquid-Cooler-Aluminium-For-CPU-GPU/282445758166?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I also made my printer modular with some industrial connectors, which I highly recommend if you're like me and enjoy tinkering a lot: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3834291
