My printer is nearing the finish line.
I’ve taking idea’s from e3d’s aero, and René Jurack water block, and mashed them together. I even went as far as to make a heatbreak from scratch.
I’d like to add that E3d’s drawing for their own heat break are wrong… anyone know why they would do that?
Makes it harder for cheap knockoffs?
It might be the case. Its just a pain in the ass making it to spec within 0.01 of all dimensions to find out ive been swindled. It takes a hour or more to make just one, not counting polishing the entire bore.
If a Chinese company wants to copy it they’d also buy a original. That’s my guess
What part of the drawing did you find was incorrect? I can’t imagine them posting an intentionally incorrect drawing. Outdated, perhaps. With a mistake, perhaps. Intentionally incorrect? Would be very surprised.
Same here, I highly doubt it was intentional. What part was incorrect? Maybe we can get it corrected.
Fancy making another one??
in the drawing it shows 15mm from the top to the bottom of the M7 thread. which is 2~mm too short.
I might pull my original out of my current printer to make sure this is right. But maybe someone can measure theirs if they have one handy?
Sure looks like 15mm to me.

@Jonathon_Thrumble
another which? almost all of the printer is custom machined parts? The water block is still a prototype. I do have a newer drawing of it done though.
The heat break alone costs $50 if i were to make them… as its 100% manual. The water block itself is $60 plus its designed for dual feed.
@Tim_Elmore Interesting , than my model must be the culprit…
Yeah i meant the whole thing but that’s a bit steep. Understandably that is. I was kinda hoping you had repurposed a cpu watercolor heatsink.
No worries, this project isn’t a cheap one.
Nice work. Do you plan to anodize it?
@Rene_Jurack Thanks, I think ill be getting a clear powder coat in the future.
I liked your water block design i couldn’t resist doing something similar. It was a certain pain to get it that size, did you have some issues getting to down to the size you did Rene?
You know that watercooling is really efficient, donˋt you? You are going to cool 300W with a bummer like this 
It’s more a “smoke’em if you got them” kinda thing.
I do know it’s efficient, just couldn’t resist. Tested it out last night, up 275c the internal didn’t return warmer than 30C.
I could water cool my 2 Ssr’s with it also. This whole printer has been over kill every step lol
