Hello!
I thought I share what I've been working on the last few days
As an alternative for a heatsink + fan.
3D printed, angled motor shroud to suit a 40mm fan. I got the fan off eBay for $7.
It's only a prototype so far as it's still due to proper testing which I can't because of crappy weather atm...
Specs:
- fits perfectly on stock Kraton 6s motor without modifications
- wraps the motor about 220 degrees without the need of cable ties or other fasteners. Simply snaps and stays on.
- suits a 40x40x10mm fan which sits on a 20 degree angle to the motor axis for streamlined airflow
- has integrated air channels to dissipate heat quickly
- very little contact surface to minimize heat getting trapped
- quickly removable for cleaning
Things which will probably get optimized soon:
- fan cover mesh
- designing an external air intake (basically cut out a hole on the body so it sucks in cold air)
What do you guys think?
Cheers
Dan
