Heat sinks will help keep the extruder stepper motors cool.

I had to buy longer screws to properly mount these.

Especially since they are geared down, the steppers will run fast continuously -potentially leading to overheating.

I skipped the thermal paste for now - if they still run hot I have the option of adding some later.
