    When someone has a 3D printer.
    You still need 2
    SUNON fan 40x40x20mm HA40201V4-999 DC 12V or similar.

    This attaches to the original screw points, no additional holes are required.
    I built the whole thing into my Alice Copper.
    Do you need that?
    It depends on how long you've been playing pinball.
    Because it's my only one, it runs non-stop.

    I would like to bring this thread up and help pinsider to get a "cheap" plug and play solution for some games (I used it for #Rick and Morty, #The Big lebowski and #Guns & Roses)

    So for the plug and play solution I used following things:

    2 Fans (40x40x20mm and specs like 5 - 6 CFM, rpm ~3000, current draw ~0.04A) like the SUNON fan liked Agima2000 used.

    Molex Y Splitter (for 2-3 fans):

    or

    https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-4-Pin-Molex-Sleeved-Adapter/dp/B075NPZ94N/ref=sr_1_5

    2 fan extension cable (between 11,8 and 36")

    https://www.amazon.com/3-Pin-Extension-Sleeving-Connectors-Length/dp/B00CFUAVAW/ref=sr_1_5

    and some cable ties.

    In the picture you see an exmaple for the parts you can use. And its about $70 for 2pins (2x2 Coils = 4 Coils) so about $35 for an plug and play kit if you can 3d print the coilcooler holder your self.

    If you have any questions feel free to ask

    Looks great! Are there specific screws that need to be ordered that aren't listed here?

    Thanks

    I used the 6-32 or 8-32 screws - one of them should work with the printed parts from Agima2000

    6-32 1 inch. That was the perfect size with a small nut.

    Any other cooler stl files out there?
