Topic: Possible part cooler

Extrusion cooler

How about a small tube from an air pump
directed at the part.
A small aquarium pump with some tubing
pumping a stream of air on the extruion?

It could be tied up to the extruder just like a wire.

A fan cools large area and cools down table?

Like the sawdust blower on a scroll saw

This is an interesting idea. Perhaps a peltier cooler would also do the trick.

Re: Possible part cooler

Yeah I was just thinking about this today, I must have missed this post originally.  I like that idea because I don't want to obstruct my view of the printing
