Cooler element for print-board

[Hanne 0]

Hi,

The cooling element fell off my print board. Is there somewhere I can order a new one? Can anyone give me the exact specs of the thing, so I can order it? Is it a tricky thing to do?

Thanks a lot! Greetings, Hanne.

That is an important part. That part it fell off is called a "pololu" so try googling:

pololu heatsink

I think they are glued on with special heat conducting glue. You could instead google for that.

Thanx, it seems this would be the cooler element:

Can I attach it with this, you think?

Or maybe is it just easier to replace the whole stepper driver like this?
