I was focused on efficiency only, but you're right, cost is another important factor!

I guess as a CNC owner the aluminium option will still be cheaper for you, but will the copper version without heatpipes still be that expensive?

I'm asking because from the tests I made with my CoolerCase (see sig), the vapour chambers were a bit disappointing in helping to spread the heat. This project is on hold but I will check that more deeply one day...

So maybe attaching the foam directly to the copper plate will work as good as with the pipes.

Full of interesting things to come, sounds good!
