Duet Shield enclosure with cooling fan

Hello everyone.

Is anyone interested in a cooler/enclosure for the duet + duet shield for the Ormerod 1?



I was a bit concerned with the heat from the processor and stepper drivers when the 2 boards are sandwiched together, so I came up with this. The ambient here gets up to 28 deg C.

half of the fans output is ducted in between the 2 boards, whilst the other half is blown onto the rear of the shield.

Could also be used for the duet alone

I have used it for a few hours printing and everything stays nice and cool.

Hi,
We use a cooling fan for the single Duet board enclosure just so that electronics stay cool. We took RRP's lid enclosure dxf and added fan ducts. Adding the openscad codes:


difference(){
linear_extrude(height = 2, center = true, convexity = 10) import (file = "Duet-enclosure-lid.DXF" );
translate([45,72,-5]) cylinder (r=18, h=10);
//translate([45,72,0]) cube ([40,40,10],center=true);
translate([61,88,-5]) cylinder (r=2, h=10);
translate([61,56,-5]) cylinder (r=2, h=10);
translate([29,88,-5]) cylinder (r=2, h=10);
translate([29,56,-5]) cylinder (r=2, h=10);

translate([50,158,-5]) cylinder (r=2, h=10);
