Canon D40 Cooling pictures.

Some pictures of the mod.
They speak for them self i hope.
I left the side open and made sure i could fit the usb connector in the camera.
You could also make a slot in between the connectors and fit the copper/alu through there.
The brown insulation on both sides of the cmos is draft strip that is cut to be just above the cmos.
The white bit is thin foam tape, both are self adhesive.
The black tape is electricians tape but you can use any thin tape you want.
The whole strip is held in between the cmos and the cover that is on the top pcb, so it sits very secure.
I have made a alu strip from the tripod hole to the fan chamber to take all the weight of the strip that goes into the camera.
Next mod will be the cold box with a twist

This mod will be so the whole camera will be cooled and also with the strip fitted onto the peltier that is outside the box, this will cool the camera even more (inside and out).

Will make pics of that new mod when i start on it
