thanks !

Guys, could you put links of the pump/tank/etc... you are using? Thanks!

I am using a Laing DDC pump. Advantage of that one over the average aquarium pump is it's ability to produce some pressure, allowing the use of 4mm O.D. tubing to distribute the liquid.

Makes a quite compact setup:

Pump is not very visible in this picture unfortunately, but it is mounted on a bit of plastic at the left bottom side of the frame:

My coolant reservoir is an old brake fluid container, nothing fancy. 'Radiator' is currently a unbranded generic Chinese 40x40mm copper waterblock attached to the aluminium frame; works well enough and saves another fan.

For my delta, i use:

For my corexy, i use:

This one

The main problem with these pump are the diameter of the hoses. You will need some adapters.

Thanks for links. These pumps with integrated tanks are easier to install.

Do you know if the Yosoo has a brushless motor, like the SC-300T? Is it possible to under-volt them, to slow them down?

tech-raton

@fma i connected them on the fan connectors. I use the pwm at 60% and both pumps work great. But i can't tell if the motor is brushed or brushless

fma

Thanks! The SC-300T is brushless, as written on the pump body.

For the SC-300T, what is the operating temperature ?
I didn't find it.

@nuramori Where did you source your self-sealing valves you've got installed on your liquid lines? They look like they would be quite helpful if you ever needed to do hotend maintenance etc.

@tech-raton I noticed it looks like you are running a silicone hose over some ptfe / similar tube into the quick disconnect fittings. Have you had any leakages or spills from the overlapping union?

Re: watercooled hotends. One of the most simple design is this. Not sure if it was long term tested, but quite inspiriring.

@lael The self sealing valves look like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174905154309?hash=item28b928db05:g:KZkAAOSwv91hI4tk. I bought the 6mm version but be warned, one of them leaked!!

I also had some leaks after attaching silicone hose to rigid "non barbed" tubing so I use clips (the spring type).

If you are looking for high quality quick disconnects I can highly recommend the ones from Koolance. Being full metal, they are quite heavy which might be an important factor for some. They also are not exactly cheap but they do work wonders, have disconnect leakage in the order of a couple little drops and have never failed me.

I have a set of QD3 series in my machine but they do offer others as well. https://koolance.com/help-quick-disconnect-shutoff-couplings

@nxt-1 Thanks for the recommendation - I'll take a look at them.

@nuramori Really nice setup! Is the Nimble a sidewinder or a V3 ?

They are Colder medical quick disconnects that are dripless.
