Hot end cooler for Solidoodle2
Description
This Is An Invention To Cool Down The Plastic That Comes Out Of The Hot End With Cool Enviromental Air ( Room Temperature). This Is Very Good For Printing Small Objects Faster. Also I Experienced That It'S Possible To Print About 30Mm In Horizontal Direction. So You Can Setup The Bridge Distance In Slic3R To A Bigger Distance And It'S Easier To Remove These After Printing :-) The Electric Controll Is Based On The Gcode Conrolled Fan Mod Of Ian Johnson (Http://Solidoodletips.Wordpress.Com/2012/10/26/Gcode-Controlled-Extruder-Fan/) But Instead Of A Fan I Used A Relais That Switches An Air Pump For Aquaria. There Are Really Cheap Ones For Only 10Euro ( About 13$). I Designed The Tubes (I Wasnt Supposed To Look Like .... ! :D ) And They Really Fit Very Well With A Glue Simply Made Of Aceton And Abs Plastic. Also It Looks Good When You Paint Them In Copper Or Iron Colours. ;-)
