    The RAMPS overheating is a nasty problem to sort out. The good news is that it is fairly easy to fix.

    I already have both printers raised up on feet i printed, so there is plenty of space for a larger fan. I saw a you tube video for printed fan clips for the ramps board. Thinking that's what I will use.

    Just upgraded from the stock 40mm fan to an 80mm and I left off the bottom of the printer. Printing the brackets to do the same to the other Robo, hopefully that fixes the problem... we'll see.

    Lol, 80mm is probably to much, but I figured WTH I'll do it.never to much cooling for the ramps IMO.

    It completed the hour long bracket print perfectly, so let's hope the cooling did the trick.

    No. I have a 3" fan that pulls air across the RAMPS/Arduino and out the front of the case. 80 is not too much.
    Like money, I am not sure too much 'air flow on the boards[' is really a 'thing'.

    Mine is mounted about .5 an inch above the ramps and Arduino, that blows air straight on them.
