<p>I was getting errors when printing with Polycarbonate on a fully enclosed UM3 and determined it was a heat issue with the print head circuit board.</p>

<p>This part replaces the back cable clamp on the print head on an Ultimaker 3.  It attaches with the original screws.  A side part cooling blower is used to force air over the circuit board maintaining the temperature about the board on a fully enclosed UM3 near what it is on a fully open UM3.</p>

<p>This prevents communication errors from the print head to the main controller. These errors usually look like &quot;print core #2 (or 1) is taking to long to heat up&quot;.   The errors also prevent the print from restarting after the print has been paused.</p>

Circuit Board Cooler for Early UM3 (doesn't fit recent models)

I was getting errors when printing with Polycarbonate on a fully enclosed UM3 and determined it was a heat issue with the print head circuit board.

This part replaces the back cable clamp on the print head on an Ultimaker 3.  It attaches with the original screws.  A side part cooling blower is used to force air over the circuit board maintaining the temperature about the board on a fully enclosed UM3 near what it is on a fully open UM3.

This prevents communication errors from the print head to the main controller. These errors usually look like "print core #2 (or 1) is taking to long to heat up".   The errors also prevent the print from restarting after the print has been paused.

Some Data:

This program prints 4 identical parts.  2 in ABS, 2 in Polycarbonate.

Printer open (no cover no door)
T=0    32C
T=7:00 (minutes)   51C (end ABS)
T=11:00    57.6C (end Poly C)
T=14:00    59.5C (end ABS)
T=16:00    61.1C (end Poly C)
T=32:00    65.8C (end ABS)
T=49:00    64.8C (end Poly C)

Printer fully enclosed  (starting about 3 minutes from previous ... printer fully warmed up)
T=0    53.7C
T=12    76.6C (end Poly C)
T=40    86.0C (end Poly C)
T=42:30    84.9C (end ABS)
T=46:30    85.8C (end Poly C)
T=50:00    85.3C (end Poly C)

Printer fully enclosed using fan setting on printer (had to reset fan speed every 30s or so) 
T=10:00    71C
fan on 50%
T=11:00    65.2C
fan off (the fan kept going back to zero)
T=21:00 fan on 75%
T=23:00    73.0C (end Poly C)
T=25:00     74.9C (end Poly C)
fan on 100%
T=31:00    71.4C

Printer fully enclosed, Circuit Board cooling fan on 75% in program from start
T=15:00    64.6C
T=45:00    66.0C
