it works for me
I placed the position here because my pipe donāt exit to the mast
I fill a cavity inside the mast and I pump the water
Like that the pipe is vertical in the mast and has no angle at the exit of the mast.
but itās debatable it is one solution among many others
Okay, this is what i want to say.
I want a water intake and not need a pump, with your solution it is not possible!
But, I like generally your idea. I think about if is it possible to use one of the screw holes for a small tube go outside and the back pressure is enough for the water circulation.
Generally I not like water cooling.
In my build I use a Trampa inside a Alucase on a Aluplate. It is more than enough for cooling.
I have a Flipsy FSESC 200 and want use it, but he have water cooling connectors, perhaps I sell theme and buy a VESV for passive cooling
Hereās a picture. I keep my FSESC in a plastic compartment because my board leaks and I want to keep the electronics dry. Obviously, if you have something to enclose the BT/radio module in you could dispense with the container. For the actual cooling, Itās just a little bit of plastic tubing and a small 5V pump that I run with a 9V battery. This circulates the coolant through the FSESC and then air cools it in the tube. So far I have run it continuous for 40 minutes with zero problems.
Absurdly simply solution. $10 for the pump. $5 for the tubing. I use coolant because of the temps at night here.
In this picture you can see the small tube coming out of the exit and right back into the ESC. The larger ones go outside the box where the pump resides.
thanks for sharing. The benefit for sure is that there is no chance that some residues get stuck in your tube system. But still you need to run tubes in first place (also going out of box) and you have a pump. My target would be to avoid any of those. For example with a alumina plate mounted on bottom of the board. This works for different esc already, however I do not know if this is also valid for esc with water cooling enclosure.
Hi Jeff,
First Iād like to thank you for all the information you share and congrats on your different builds.
I have a question, can you tell me how you printed the mast clamp? Type of material (ABS, PLA, PETGā¦) and infill (100% or much less and later filled with epoxy)? I wonder if it will be strong enough if I print it in ABS with 100% infill.
If others used other solutions Iād ba happy to hear them.
Thanks and greetings from a French living in California.
