Hi All,
I finally had a chance to start my active cooling mod of my astro modded Canon 40D. Initially I started with designing the shape of the cold finger and creating a to scale template on paper...
I made two designs, one with bends around the sensor, and one which is mostly flat with minimal bends. I went with the latter since I figured that I will not be able to bend the copper plate with such precision using my available tools... ie two pieces of wood.
The thin NTC probes have arrived and it might take some time for the spare replacement main PCB to arrive since it's coming from Portugal, also there's no guarantee that the spare PCB will work so, next free day I have, I decided to swap the main PCB from the Canon 40D which I won on eBay and replace that with the one which is coming from Portugal.
Of course this time that PCB will be insulated from moisture using the Polyurethane conform spray... hopefully this will make the Astro40D relia
