Thank you sir I was lookin where to put this part from the downloads .
Zero air flow putting fan on a closed flat surface... Real smart
@@daledidomenico5341 yeah? especially as the feet of the enclosure raise it a few mm above table height so there Is airflow!
Nice work! Thank you for sharing this.
thanks for sharing. going to add this to my prusa box
Hi Colin just wondering if you use the relay upgrade to control the Einsey fan or just have a master off/on switch, or maybe do you control it with the temperature control upgrade? Also the same question for your PSU fans as well. I was thinking to use the relay maybe to control both PSU and Einsey fans, just not sure if I need or want to control each of them separately. I am just building my box now so trying to decide before getting it all together and then changing things later.
Einsey fan - linked to the front mounted temperature control unit - same switch that controls the extractor fan. PSU fans - those are connected to my Pi/relays, set to turn on when print starts and relay off when print ends - using Octorelay plugin. For these PSU fans i also have a rear mounted rocker switch, as i only have them activated when running ASA.
Hi Colin, thanks for your help. I haven't added the printer to my enclosure yet, still running wire for the control module, but just wondering would it be easy to add the printer after I added your Einsy cooling tower, or do you think it would be better to add the printer, then mount the Einsy cooling tower? Also is the height of your Einsy cooling shroud based on the rubber feet you installed during your initial build, as I guess the height of everything would need to match. I am also using those same rubber feet as I purchased them from PrusaBox.
It fits with those feet, a snug fit. I would install printer first
Drat. Forgot you installed the special feet. I'm using the standard feet and will need to adjust the distance from the floor of the PrusaBox to the bottom of the motherboard. Would it be possible for you to take a measurement from the bottom of the 'Y" rail near your feet so I can calculate a starting point for the necessary height reduction?
Hello Sir! Do you have a solution for prusa mini as well in the perspective of extrusion with ABS? Thx a lot from Italy.👋👋 and best wishes for the new year!
What problem in particular?
Hello Colin, thx you for your reply. I am referring to a way for cooling prusa mini motherboard inside an enclosure...if any... thx again.Nicola
@@nicolabazzurro1722 Hi. I don't think I have heard anyone try that, or want to cool that board. Probably a 25mm Pi fan would do the job but needs a case redesign and no way to have outside air.
Silly question but how do you wire the fan to the motherboard?
You dont! Its connected to a 12v supply that is also used to power the extractor fan. Or if you use a 5v fan you can connect to the 5v output of a buck converter. Hope that helps.
@@colinhill I do not have an enclosure but I am using a raspberry pi zero and found a remix for your design so I'm trying to figure out how to wire the fan.
Actually, I'll just wire a 24v fan to the psu, problem solved. lol
@@Printed_Visionz3D I have it connected to the thermostatic control along with main extractor fan so it only cools mobo when temp is high.
how would that work for the bear prusa mk3s?
I have not used the bear version but looks like the extrusion is directly under the board, and likely also covers the vent hole. If that's the case then I cannot think of an immediate workaround. Unless you can duct air from the front right vent slot with some tubing?
@@colinhill i really done know if tube will work itll have to be from the side, is there any way i can email u so i can send u a pic i messaged u on fb messenger from printer box group
