That is exactly what mine is, I took a m6 stand-off and machined it down to only 10mm wide fins with the waterjacket over it. The entire thing is only 20mm tall on the cooler, which is the smallest I can make it with a standard Mk8 throat and Bowden coupler. It’s hard to see scale without context but that Maxiwatt heater is only 20mm diameter so it is very small.

Yeah, even tapping the stuff is pain. But I was able to make both M3 and m5 threads into the model and both came out well enough that all I needed to do was clean the threads with a tap. Trying to tap with a bare hole was absolute pain and no matter how careful or use of tapping fluid you would snap taps on it.
Also, the heatsink insert I made on a lathe I 3d printed. I originally bought a tiny lathe but that thing stopped holding itself together after 3 uses. My printed lathe is still work over a year later.
