Hybrid 98 cryocooler water cooling jacket

thingiverse

I didnt want to permanently destroy the heatsink on my $2000 cryocooler to water cool it like most do so I came up with this simple design that keeps the heatsink and directs the water across it. Since this will have water running through it it is recommended to use ABS but PLA is all I have. It will need to be sealed with wax or some kind of resin to keep the plastic from degrading also stop leaks. Silicone is used to seal all the edges and attach it to the cooler. Each half is exactly the same but the input and output are on opposite ends. There is also an extra hole on the top for the power wires and one on the bottom for the thermocouple wires.The holes for the water are designed to have an 8mm metal insert to attach the tubes to.
