It is Thursday. I received the heat sinks from Royco (panucatt devices). Biiiig Thank YOU!
These are 12.5 mm long, 10 mm wide and 10 mm tall anodized aluminum extrusions, with 4 ribs. They come with adhesive backing, which should insulate against shorts, but still feature good thermal conductivity. I did not have instruction on how to apply them, so I looked up his webpage. The webpage shows the SureStepr SD8825 stepper drivers with heat sinks. Those are bare aluminum with 7 ribs. I’ve got the SureStepr 82A Stepper drivers. So I used some common sense, peeled off the backing and glued them to the stepper drivers. I made sure they’ll not obstruct the potentiometers and does not touch the pins.
Royco wasn’t sure if he’ll sell these separately.
The printer powered up and is running right now. It would be nice to plot the stepper drivers temperature, but I think the hardware/software is not capable for this. I believe I have to come up with an external system for this.
