Well ive finally got my cnc setup to a level I am happy with, had a lot of issues the past week. Firstly the pc fans I got of ebay were very cool with the led's but they were piss poor at moving air so I ended up ripping a few pc's apart to get some much more powerful fans.

To power the fans I got a laptop power pack and started stripping it back, I replaced the kettle plug with wires to be hard wired into the 240 supply to the spindle power pack.




The output to the fans was controlled via a small toggle switch. I then secured the powerpack with hot glue onto the main power pack. I have got another fan to aid cooling within this box but I was very surprised as to how not hot the box gets so I dont think there is any need for an additional fan, will see how it goes. I also wired in a controller for the spindle
