In this video I try to modify a CPU cooler made for a Raspberry Pi into a hotend for a 3D printer. If this works it has some interesting possibilities because of the heat pipes. These heat pipes move the heat elsewhere, so the filament path could possibly be a lot shorter than usual.

This is the heater block I used for this project https://geni.us/w7VIYZ Be aware that, unlike what I shown in the video, the pipes can break! I tried it a second time, also successfully, but I might have been lucky!
