Interest poll: watercooled V6 / Smarteffector

Nxt-1

I have been playing with around with watercooling my delta with Smarteffector + V6 for over two years now. There are no off the shelf heatsinks available that fit the Smarteffector and V6 style heatbreaks. So in the past I have experimented succesfully-ish with modifying existing heatsinks to make them compatible, but non of my experiments ticked all the boxes.

That is why I am currently designing on of my own from the ground up. With the following key specs in mind:

Compatible with M12 for Smarteffector (groovemount if interest is there)
Sealing with o-rings -> no glue mess involved
Support for any size/type/angle fitting for water lines
Machined and anodized aluminium main body
Custumiseable 3D printed fitting adapters

The product is still in development but here are some preliminary pictures. Everything in back is anodized alumium and the blue/red adapters are printed to allow customization.

I don't run Delta printers anymore, but still follow with interest, what's the latest..
IMHO you should add one thing to your list of features:
compatible with a (soon to come?) toolchanger version of the smart effector.

Are there any concrete plans for a new version smart effector that I missed? Either way I assume making it compatible will not be hard due to the modular nature of what I have planned.

@nxt-1 Another interesting option/opportunity for this might be the E3D toolchanger (and derivatives). They actually use the threaded V6 heatsink for their V6 bowden tools as it gives a better mount. https://e3d-online.com/products/toolchanger-tools

@engikeneer You are right that could be a good opportunity. I'd have to check clearance really well but if people are interested it can be done
