Thanks for the info Geoff. What machine are you using, or did you make your own?
I understand PC maybe only for show but in the car industry an air cooled motor hasnt been made in a production vehicle in years. So being said water cooling should be better heat transferring then a typical heat sink. But I would like to know more about cooling and having a safe machine to print for a 30hr period without worry.

I think the tough part will simply be mounting it all, I haven't seen a CPU liquid cooler with a small enough head for the CPU that I could see fitting, but hey there is probably one out there. ideally one that is not much wider than a CPU itself.
I think it would work ok, but the only thing I would be re-inforcing is all the flexing, as your head is going to move alot along with the cooling tubes and headstock, whereas in a PC they are fairly tame and never move around.
Please explain to me how to...
