I have chillers for sale. Pm me if you are interested but you'd have to come to P1RC to get it.
So i started doing my own anodizing 🤔

There’s only 1 for sale in the whole province via our online alternative to Craigslist. 1/3 hp and $800.00 so that’s a no go.
I’m skeptical of the cheap retail aquarium chillers like those on Amazon & fleabay, some terrible reviews. I completely agree it would be the most hassle free solution if you can find a quality one at a decent price. I was considering a chiller for a different project but a quality one was cost prohibitive. Sean’s idea of a small mini fridge instead of the cooler interests me.
I was just trying to limit how much I put into this setup and how much equipment I’ll need to store after I’m done. Once I’m done I can cannibalize the pump and temp controller for other projects and the cooler is already here taking up room in the basement. Don’t know how much anodizing I’ll do in the future other than just this 5th scale stuff.

Idk how long this process takes but you could hook the garden hose to a wort cooler and just do drain to waste style. Again not sure how long this cooling process takes.
You can find these cheaper. I think I paid like $30 for mine.

The coil was an issue monster not enough room this trans cooler is 1/2 thick and 11" long 
That’s the beginning of a damn nice worm for another project I want to try.
I see you can get them in copper as well!

30 minutes in and the bath is at 65 degrees and the water surrounding it is 49 degrees
Probably going to have a problem getting efficient thermal transfer with plastic. Type 3 will be hard to do without a high end chiller with titanium internals that the bath can be directly recirculated through to cool effectively. It’s definitely an improvement over past runs!
Not cheap aquarium chillers

At last I believe to have produced a 1 mil thickness and about as abrasion resistant as the parts we would buy 
Nice job Rep!

It absolutely works biz. One thing I've found to be a minor pain is making sure you have absolutely excellent connections if either is weak you won't get the amps you need and you'll start burning the part. Adjusting the power supply shouldn't be a struggle and if it is one of your connections has poor contact

Just wanted to show what happens as I've now found out that you can't anodize over anodizing and they mean it 
... so polished the old cooling head to a mirror finish to achieve a glossy finish and yep I got some striping from the old anodizing. You can tell from the pics it blends right in....im hanging in there but it can be a pain in the ass to get what your looking for to be spot on
