The Blue Smoke Herder Shield - AKA the New Maslow Shield (TLE5206)

The point of this version of the shield is it’s more robust, has a huge set of heatsinks and it’s screwed to the driver. The current water cooling system would need to be redesigned and is un-needed in my opinion . I operate with none of the “improvements listed in the Ad” and have had no issues. I don’t even use the stock chain guide. I applaud any one that can solve there own problem, there is great initiative in what they are doing, but I disagree with the word Need.

There are 2 things that known to kill shields I’ve seen, The heat sinks falling off -

I use a coat hanger to resolve that in post 49 here:

The other is a motor jamming.

@Gero added a bigger power supply, doubled the AMPs - it ripped the Motor off the machine during tensioning in calibration.

I think were covered.

Just my 2 cents

Thank you
