Active cooling for the ramps board?

This suggests to me that it may also be a good idea to mount the MEGA2560 board on spacers or standoffs, not flush to the wood frame like the build instructions say.

Good point printbus, do you think clough42's printable LCD spacers would provide enough of a gap to use on the RAMPS as well?

Anything is likely better than nothing! IIRC, the LCD takes spacers that are in the neighborhood of 3/16 inch so that should help. It may depend what you have for bolts, since you may need to use longer ones than stock when the spacer gets added.

FYI - if you're into openscad, here's a parametric spacer that you can adjust to your liking - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5314

Thanks printbus! I haven't used SCAD yet but I can definitely see the benefit for some parts! This would be an easy introduction!
