This is a simple magnetic cooling system which makes cleanup and accessing the hot end extremely easy. It uses 8 neodymium magnet for an old BLDC motor. They can hold 700gm-800gm easily, which is more than enough for this setup. We connect all the electronics using JST HX connectors. There are 2 5015 blower fans for the part cooling, we can set them to 50-60% speed, making the machine quieter and not losing any cooling.
Note: This design is for the stock ender 3, ender 3 V2 plate and other similar printers with stock hot end.
