Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a molded plastic object that includes at least one vapor chamber within the plastic object. A wicking material is in contact with at least a portion of an inner wall of the vapor chamber. A working fluid located within the vapor chamber is configured to distribute heat from warmer regions of the plastic object to cooler regions of the plastic object. In some embodiments, the molded plastic object is part or all of a solid inkjet printhead.
