NEMA 17 Stepper Motor Heat Sink

thingiverse

Heat Sink for a NEMA 17 Stepper Motor, used on most desktop 3D printers and in many other applications. TCPoly's composite FDM filament allows for printing heat sinks and other electronics cooling devices. Using this device, we saw a 25% reduction in temperature increase on our Lulzbot TAZ 5's steppers. Thermal tape is required to attach the heat sink onto the the face(s) of the motor.

Be sure to print upright, with the back face of the heatsink aligned with the X-Z plane. The printer should make one pass up, and one pass down for each fin (see the image below). We used a 0.64mm layer height, but you can go smaller. [Check out our TCPoly Filament Printing Guide Here](https://tcpoly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/TCPoly-Print-Guide.pdf)
