Garcads WATER-COOLED Hotend does best ABS prints ever!!

I could sit here and ramble away about the amazing prints I have gotten with garcads water-cooled hotend (chillend) but I think the video says it all..

Printer: Reprap prusa-mendel (heavily modified by and for papabur)
Print speeds where set at a average of 65 mm/s.

0c-230c = 90 seconds flat. cools down just as quick which means more time printing amazing parts and less time tapping your foot waiting for your hotend to warm up!http://youtu.be/9QTuqr31g1Y



more to come soon!! thanks for watching and feel free to comment/ask questions as we love feedback! -papabur

Looks cool (pardon the pun)

Just a question, why do you print the quad arms with rafts or support? those mini quad arms print without warping pretty well, I probably print off 12 a day or so of those, the tops come out all nice and shiny. I can't say I need to cool the nozzle down tho, the fans seem t do a reasonable job

I do not use support or rafting, what you see there on the bracket(which i too have printed quiet a few of, hehe) is just brim and a skirt(blocks air) to help with adhesion..the abs juice does not always do the trick on the longer prints so i use about 2-3mm's of brim around the part and it helps hold the part down. thanks for the pic, very nice quad copter, i got the same one put together on the desk here next to me, lol.
