…Please be sure to hit like & post a make, I'd love to see your prints!
SV07 pi cooler! The sv07 will run at 60°c at room temperature & over 80°c in a 30-40°c enclosure! This Pi Cooler will take those numbers down 36°c & 54°c respectively. It will make a huge difference to performance & lifespan!
Update:
Added 30mm fan version as requested
Also note on the newer MKS Pad v1.1 hardware there is a 24v Fan JST plug inside the screen on the rear of the PCB. This plug is quite tight to fit a connector to apparently so use with care.
You'll need:
1x 25mm fan - voltage of your choice, I used 5v here.
OPTION 1.
1x Mateksys 5/9v miniature regulator set to 5v
OPTION 2.
1x USB A or C power cable for usb 5v - not tested
2x M3 heat inserts
2x M3 10mm cap head bolts
2x M3 washers
1x length of wire to reach your chosen power supply
Printing
Print standing upright on its short flat end, no supports needed. Don't print laying down.
Prints ok at 0.3mm layer height but better at 0.2mm
Assembly
IMPORTANT!!! Add the fan so it BLOWS OUTWARD!!
DO NOT have the fan blowing in to the Pi, this unit has been designed specifically to PULL cold air IN through the bottom holes in the screen case & over the heatsink, then blow it OUT at the top via the fan. DO NOT REVERSE THIS!
Add the fan to the print in the CORRECT orientation, pass cables through the adjacent hole to inside the unit.
Connect the miniature voltage regulator & power wires. Stick the regulator down inside the unit with glue or sticky foam pad. See photo.
Feed power wire out the bottom of the unit through the hole.
Add heat insets to the rear then bolts/washers, leave a little loose. Add to the unit to printer screen mount sliding it downwards making sure the washers are UNDER the printer mount on the bot heads.
Tighten up the bots gently to hold the mount in place, they don't need to be super tight, just enough to hold things in place.
Connect the power wire to your desired power source, the Mateksys regulator can take up to 30v so can be connected directly to the printer's PSU. Take care doing this!!!
Alternatively you can get 5v directly from the screens USB ports with the correct cable to power the 5v fan. I have not tested this.
CHECK YOUR WORK!
Add the Printer screen carefully making sure not to break anything.
IF THE SCREEN DOES NOT SLOT ONTO MOUNT FAIRLY EASILY DO NOT FORCE IT!!
Look what is causing the poor fit & sand the print down or adjust it so it fits, leaving a bad review because you broke your screen posts due to a bad print or you forced it is not cool & not my fault. This model fits my screen perfectly well with only gentle pressure.
Care has been taken to make sure this is the how the fit should be. If the fit is too tight for your screen let me know by sending a PM or post a comment & I can help you. Don't break your screen!
