- Hotend cooler MK2 for Creality Ender 3 with 60 mm fan is releasedI was dissatisfied with the freely available coolers for my applications and so decided to design my own version. The most important feature for me was the use of a 60 mm axial fan to be able to guarantee a high volume flow and thus excellent cooling performance. This is crucial when using high-temperature filaments (e.g. nylon) and at high installation temperatures (e.g. ASA > 60 °C). Hotend cooling is required to restrict extrusion to the heater and nozzle. Without sufficient cooling, the heat will rise and cause clogging. I optimized the cooler for the MicroSwiss Hotend at my Creality Ender 3 Pro.
