Update: The extruder suddenly stopped churning out the plastic :frowning:

I have recently finished the wire management of my Printer, printed out a new enclosure for my Ramps, and all was going OK.

I’ve tried to reprint some cookie cutters today, and fail :disappointed_relieved:

Lesson for all: Active cooling on the stepper drivers is a must.

The enclosure I printed doesn’t have a fan mount, but only some ventilation holes.

The stepper driver are overheating, and thermal shutdown on the extruder drivers kick in…

Next steps: figure out for I’ll mount some fans for active cooling. I’m thinking of cutting out a hole on the one side of the enclosure and put a fan to blow over the board… But it will have to be a 40 or maximum 50mm fan…

What type of drivers are you using?
