Rostock Max V2 Case Cooling Fan Mount - 80mm
Description
My Rostock Max V2 Steppers Were Running Hotter Than I Would Like. I Had A Machine Crash On A Hot Day That Was Likely Caused By An Overly Hot Stepper Driver On The Motherboard. I Decided Cooler Is Better Than Hotter So I Designed This Fan Mount To Be Added To The Side Of The Case Where The Access Panels Normally Would Be. The Design Is Made To Place The Fan Inside At An Angle So That It Blows Toward The Motherboard, Past The X Axis Stepper. A Mirrored Version Of This Would Fit The Other Side For Twice The Cooling But Is Probably Overkill. I Plan On Also Adding A Grill Piece To Allow Flow-Through Cooling Around Both Steppers With Just One Fan. The Idea Would Be That The Air Would Flow Around The Electronics And Then Out The Other Side. To Force This Airflow You Would Really Need To Block Or Restrict The Vent Holes In The Bottom To Force The Air To Move Through, Past The Pieces That Generate Heat. Printed And Installed! 6/14/15 - It Fits Nicely And Does A Nice Job Of Providing Additional Airflow To The Motherboard And Steppers. I Ran My First 4+ Hour Print Yesterday With No Mishaps This Time.
