Anyone know if the Duet needs a cooling fan to keep it cool?
Anyone know if the Duet needs a cooling fan to keep it cool?
Documentation feels a bit sparse, but so far my new Duet seems relatively cool to the touch.
Rostock Max V2 with mods:
E3d v6 with 713maker mount & e3d titan extruder
Tricklaser CF arms, heat spreader, tricktrucks, fly-n-strude, metal carriage & effector
Duet v.8.5.0
24v MeanWell 750w PS & Cydom D1D40 SSR in parallel with stock 12v PS

It'll never hurt, but it's good to know that it stays relatively cool.
Maybe somebody with the gear will post FLIR pictures of it soon.

I attached my duet to mhackney's mount and then attached it in place of the Rambo to the stock mounting board with the fan. Plugged the fan into one of the always on terminals.
As jimustanguitar said, can't hurt.

If you keep the current on all the stepper drivers below about 1.2-1.5 amps, you shouldn't need it (from what I remember David saying). If you run over 1.5 amps it was recomended to cool the underside of the board where the drivers are, as they are rated for 2A but not with the stock thermal configuration.
