      This is just a tiny part of my corexy printer build im working on.
      The water block itself is base off of René Jurack's water block mixed with the e3d aero block. The heat break is hand made so are the hose barbs.

        I don't know why, but I love water-cooled hotends.
        Yours looks great, thanks for sharing.

        Did you try it? How does it perform?

        If it ain't broke, fix it till it is =)

          I haven't yet done any testing. I only just finished polishing the bore of the heat break late last night. Today ill be testing the water block manually by hand feeding filament to make sure it doesn't jam front heat creep. If i feel like recording some video ill post it here.

            Looks great my watercooled setup for now is fairly bodged together at the heatsink end, but it does work, no jams so far. This looks really nicely done keep the pictures coming,

              Saw this on G+, and as a fan of everything Rene makes and a DICE owner, I have to say, NICE!

                There is a bit of a debate going as to whether water cooling offers any advantage over air cooling in anything other than an enclosed chamber, but one advantage of water cooling that nobody ever mentions is noise level. By far the noisiest part of my machine is the hot end cooling fan (I have to use a very powerful one on my Diamond hot ends) so I'd love to give this a go. Might see what I can do…......
                Oh and congrats to the OP on what looks like great work so far.

                  Thanks guys, Its more for the enclosed active heated chamber but also sound. Its silent right now. Rene is definitely one of the bigger influences on the design, so i have to give him props for the ideas.

                  I have the second water block done. looks so nice

                    I'm surprised how well it works hotend at 260 chamber at 40 heatsink measured at the lowest fin opposite the water block 28 deg C max. I'm using a 120mm fan/radiator and smallest pc water pump/tank I could find but if you can affordably get a smaller radiator (or just use a smaller fan) do so as this is 10 times the cooling I actually need.

                    I was wondering about fitting a small radiator on the head in the circuit to allow me to blow cooler air with my part fans.
