How to replace Ender 3 Extruder Fans - the "easy" way
The Ender series of Creality 3d printers are intended to be test beds for people with a hand for tinkering (I feel anyway) as such they are pretty easy to maintain, and adapt. This video shows an easier way to perform the task of replacing the cooling fans on the extruder.

    • @AlexPlatacis
      @AlexPlatacis 2 дня назад

      @falconbobb the weber dcoe has a cold start circuit it set the mixture rich. And increases the idle. I have set up an electric solenoid that engages it for two minutes. Then it disengages, and the idle reduces back to normal. The slow response is also due to this, and I have a Dcoe 45, so it favors higher RPM. Here is the video on my electric choke

      On a 2010 the computerized systems are a lot less sophisticated. In this case the battery was dead do there was nothing to preserve. If you want to preserve the settings and radio etc, you can use a backup power source on the jumper locations. The dealer has a special tool that connects to the ODBII port.

    Nice to see practical work. Nobody is going to be looking at the floor if it holds up. Caution with hydrochloric acid, the fumes rust bare metal that is in the vicinity. Removing rust with concentrated vinegar covered up with plastic gets rid of a lot of rust. Then treat with phosphoric acid( metalprep) converts any rust left. Good vid.

      @AlexPlatacis 19 дней назад

      I'm gonna have to research that a bit. the gray surface is the wear surface. so it makes sense that it would come in contact with the moving parts (ie the crank) but, you have sparked my interest. so in the spirit of collaboration, I am going to look for a reference that mentions that specifically. thanks

    • @shaynemckean8062
      @shaynemckean8062 18 дней назад

      @@AlexPlatacis When you say "gray" surface, you mean the grooved side, right? That is the babbit and it should be against the rotating mass (IE, the crank shaft), as the babbit is softer than the crank. The babbit is the surface that will wear, not the crank. The smooth sides are steel and should not ride against the crank, as it will damage the crank. The smooth steel side should sit against the block/cap. Great video though. I enjoy watching the progress! I'm rebuilding an 18V now and your videos do help.

    Need to use 3mm Plywood for the surface. That way you can cut the circle the same size as the lid. The the lid will set in the cutout perfectly for alignment. That is a good way to make jigs for zipo lighters or anything you want to laser. Just cut that shape out. 3mm basswood is cheaper and easier to cut the birch.

    • @AlexPlatacis
      @AlexPlatacis Месяц назад

      @samanthalam2000 well, it's similar. Older cars had just 1 wire to the oil sensor. It measured resistance to the engine block. The cherokee has 3 wires one measures resistance the other is a ground, and the third one has a 5volt signal from the ecu. When you get this fault you need to check the oil level, make sure you have good clean oil of the right viscosity. Check the wiring for a short. If all those are good, replace the sensor. So, yeah, it could be the same as the p0522, it's just a different fault(likely the 5 volt circuit)
