Not being able to produce videos of this quality first try is the reason why I haven't started a RUclips channel yet, definitely not just because I'm lazy :)
Very cool, Its alot quieter. I think that sound app is more sensitive at lower frequencies, but lower frequencies are always alot easier on the ears, so great job, Id love to try this one. Didnt expect a fashion show at the end but good choice in clothing as well
Wrong. The app measure the content of total power spectral and the noise is bigger. As you say the fundamental frequency shift to lower value and is more pleasant to ears. This is because the stock fan have a higher pitch and normally higher pitch have lower power. But from a scientific point of view this is a total failure because we don't know if the static pressure of the new fans are better or worse, but if your metrics are only your ears then the measure from the phone are a stupid thing to do. If you don't like what you see with your instruments you always repeat the experiment after you found what variable was wrong. Another important thing is ¿why change the fan inside your PSU and board if you don't measure the result? I doubt the fan from the stock PSU are louder, but these is what you see when you have more money to spend and little brain to use. Sunon and Orion are top quality without doubt but we don't know what of all the changes improve the perceive sound in subjective way as this video claim. In regard of wardrobe changes we have a wise phrase in my country "aunque la mona se vista de seda mona queda".
Thanks for the video, it was really well done!. Exactly what I needed to see before I buy the fans for my Ender. I really appreciate how you edited this - its a quick pace, but not too quick. And hey - we can always hit pause! So many other people making these videos go so SLOOOOWLY. Hope to see more from you.
Guy is a good comedian, jokes made me chuckle. Lots of shirt changes and a coat. Was trying to understand if that’s a joke. But good job on the first video. Yes nutica would are better, but the point he was trying to show is without buck converters.
Thank you a bunch! Most videos feel so serious so I thought i'd throw in some comedy :) I actually thought that these fans wouldn't be so much noisier than a noctua. But maybe i'll do another video were I change everything to noctua fans and then compare to this.
great guide! as someone who is new to the 3d printer world i struggled quite a bit following other (written) guides that did not really explain how and where to open the 3d printer and how to install the fans correctly. also i like the fact, that you included all the details on the fans used and didnt use noctua fans (which are excellent for other use cases). i really wish i had found this video earlier, could have saved me so many hours of researching!
Took me 5 minutes to relaise that you where from Sweden! Great video - assembling my first 3D printer this weekend and this mod is probably the most neccesary one to make to the printer.
I followed your steps and replaced all my fans with the same ones and put a Briss Fang on my hot end as well! I also used silicone gaskets for the connections of the fans, and I think I've got the noise down to about half of what it was on my Voxelab Aquila. Thanks for this video, it told me all I needed to know!
might be one of the best e3v2 tutorial videos i've laid my eyes upon. well done. only thing I would improve upon is the audio however that wasn't bad at all. Great job with the first video
Good job on the tutorial. I ordered the fans that you suggested. Surprisingly, my PSU fan is 24V, not 12V like yours. So, I'll have to do that one another day. I have an Ender 3 V2 Neo. My P/S looks exactly like your, but it's a different fan voltage.
This really works great. I used 3 Sunon fans in the dimensions as in the video desctiption. My PSU was a 12V fan, so double check before you order. It is very quiet now. A bit louder than my PC, but by far not as loud as the hairdryer it used to be. Very nice mod and great video!
Good job! Yeah, the switch from sounding like a hairdryer to something much quieter makes a substantial difference. Maybe I should change the fan in my girlfriend's hairdryer so I will get rid of them for good haha
@@Randomecticly Now after printing for a while with this setup, I am super happy. But there is one minor downside to it. I used a SUNON 24V DC 1,11W 40x40x10mm 11,9m³/h 5800U/Min 11,9m³/h Sunon MF40102V2-A99 fan from Amazon for the hotend and parts cooling. I noticed that the parts cooling fan will not properly run at low RPM. It will start to really turn at around 30% fanspeed. Below that it will just stutter. Thats not a big issue, but I have to keep in in mind, when I create a printer profile in the slicer which uses a fan curve that speeds up the fan every layer.
Great vid, loved it. About the soundmeter on the phone ... what happened is that the air from the modded version was probably blowing into the mic so eventhough he sound level was way lower for our ears the wind blowing into the mic made the phone spike higher
Nice video. Thank you. The sound level after the mod seems the same, however it changed pitch, it is at a much lower frequency, which seems easier on the ears :) Also, Sunon fans are not the most quiet, however they are a lot better than the stock fans and also push enough air trough the hotend of a Creality printer, that has a different design from a hotend from a Prusa for example and needs a lot more air. So, in my opinion you went the right way with the Sunon because Noctua does not have the necessary airflow for a Ender 3, or a CR-10.
Thank you Robert! Yeah I used an external mic so that is why the freq became different :) I was thinking of making another video were I change everything to noctua fans, but because they lack the necessary airflow like you said i'm thinking of maybe skipping it. It could be dangerous if I were to print something under a looong time... We'll see tho😊
@@Randomecticly My thoughts exactly, I think If I was going to add Noctuas, it would only be for the PSU and mainboard. But I really like your fans and will stay with those for the correct airflow. Great tutorial again.
I did a similar upgrade and was also disappointed that the sound level did not drop enough, especially since this printer's loudest parts are the fans, so then I installed Noctua fans (for the PSU, motherboard, hot end and parts cooling). If you are going to go through the trouble of the upgrade, then don't make my mistake, just upgrade to the Noctua fans from the beginning. If you go with Noctua 40x20 fans you won't have airflow issues. However, the Noctuas are only 12V, so you need to install a buck converter with them to step the 24V to 12V, which is not a big deal. Well worth it if you really want something that is truly quiet.
Thank you! This was exactly the guide I was looking for! As a tip, make sure the audio level in all the clips are the same. At like 2:30 you went really quiet.
Thank you so much! I was a bit scared when you opened up the psu but it’s a really helpful mod. You did a great job with the video. I have a long way to go to reach the quality of your first video so you can be really proud 😁
I cant help but think that most of your noise reduction was simply by removing the restrictions caused by the stock ender grills in front of the fans.. I printed multiple versions of this and like most of these printed hot end coolers the funneling of the air behind the fan creates a new noise. I can actually hear the same sound from your cooler. Any restriction in front or behind on small fans like these will create extra noise. For the PSU and Mainboard cooling i have found the only way to truly silence these printers is to go 80mm or larger low spinning fans and raise the printer with feet to compensate. It's great to see vids like this and others it all helps ty. I also love the Tshirt changing :D
Android phones limit extreme noise when recording video. So as quiet as it sounds, it probably isn't. Reading your application is more accurate and shows that you aggravated the problem. The noise is in fact, more big now.
Just finished replacing the hot-end and part fans with the Sunon 4020 ones (skipped the PSU/mainboard ones for now) and they are a bit more silent (but not by a whole lot). I wouldn't have dared replacing the fans without the spot-on instructions in this video, thanks!
Nice job on the video. Clear and concise. For sound measurement, the microphone is on the front of the phone so facing the phone toward the fans may provide a more accurate result.
1. Great video, very helpful and entertaining. 2. I paid for the upgraded/updated fang from cults3d, and was able to print it in petg (my first petg print). It was challenging, and then it worked and I didn't argue. 3. I wish that fang had more mounting points to the axis, as I'm concerned I'm destroying the plastic around the mounting hole when I take it off and put it back on. 4. Like others have said, the noise level didn't go down, but the frequency did, so it's not as distracting. 5. The printed pins are trash. I started using wire ties and they're a lot better.
i hear a high pitched whine in the modded version. i think that is what causes it. most of it might be outside our hearing range, but pets will be annoyed.
Dude, I just watched this. And to be your first video you pretty much did better than many other creators! :) You had me laughing and subscribe at "My girlfriend doesn't complain anymore....... about the printer" =)
Props for not using Noctua fans, which are completely inadequate for cooling a 3d printer, as Prusa found out. They do still use them, but at the cost of redesigning the extruder on the i3 to provide more airflow via the Venturi effect.
Holy ****, I found my RUclips doppelganger! Subbed, good luck with the channel 😀 I did a similar mod with Noctua fans and noticed a 10 dB reduction. dB readings aren't everything though, sometimes a rather unpleasant noise sounds louder just because of the way we perceive sound. Looking at the features on Noctua fans, I think they do some acoustic engineering with the harmonics to make things sound quieter without actually reducing dB.
Hey doppelganger! I looked through your videos and subbed too! Good luck yourself👍 I saw your video and you are right, just getting rid of that loud noise is enough. Perhaps the dB readings doesn't show that but the printing is sooo much bearable to be around now. I'm thinking of doing noctua fans in the future to further improve the noise but we'll see. I'm happy as it is right now :)
Great video! If you're willing to solder buck converters into your fan wires, you could use 12V Noctua fans which are even quieter and sill make your Ender almost completely silent.
Thank you! The purpose of this video was to actually use fans that are easier to install. They're not as quiet as noctua fans of course but they bring the noise down quite a bit :) Perhaps in the future i'll upgrade to noctua!
I had to double take on the first t shirt change. I blinked at just the right moment and thought shit am I high? You got me good. When the camo vest came out I lost it. Very good and funny video.
Well, I replaced the PSU fan and it seems to be louder actually. :) So that may be why the phone registers higher as well (was the PSU fan on when measuring the "silent" mod ?). A better solution is to take out the PSU and put it behind the printer (as safe as possible) so that it can get its heat out much better, then it won't switch on all the time either (I noticed this because while testing if the fan change worked, it wouldn't turn on outside the enclosure :) ). I ordered a bigger Noctua fan and will print a replacement cover for that, that should really make a difference. edit: And it does! So don't use the Sunon for the PSU it really doesn't make a difference, print a cover for a bigger Noctua fan and install that (Thingiverse). Raise the printer a bit to get more clearance for the PSU and presto. With the mods in the video I was at 63 Db, with the Noctua for the PSU, I'm at 53! Extra bonus to this setup is that it's not on all the time either and with it off the noise even drops to 49-50 Db!
Thanks for the video. I have found that my fans are the loudest just as it starts up and then quiets down before it begins to print. I plan on using your video to do this mod this weekend. Thanks. Great first video. Good production value for sure.
Thank you as well! Keep in mind that the part cooling fan doesn't spin at 100% the first and second layer so that is why it is quiet in the beginning. Also, the mainboard fan is not always on, only until it gets too warm underneath the printer :)
I've just got an Ender 3 V2 and I'm surprised how much louder it is than the original Ender 3, definitely going to do this mod. Hope you are working on more V2 mods because I really like your video
the original didn't come with the silent boards. My original is far louder than the V2. Unless you are talking about the fan unit. Hearing the stepper motors compared to my V2 drives me insane
Thank you so much, i was struggling to find a complete guide to change the fans. First video or not, very good job overrall. Sound and explications were good.
Nice work! At first I thought the t shirts was just bad editing but then it became clear it was part of the fun. Only small suggestion would be some foam or similar to lower the echo in your room. =)
My main concern is voltage- actually just wiring in general. You briefly touched on buck converters, but can't you just buy fans that're 12V's? Also, i don't know how to solder. Can I use those crimp connectors or do I suck it up and go pick up a cheap kit at harbor freight and learn?
you can add 330 ohm resistor to the hotend fan to bring the noise down a bit on that. Standard fan is a 40x10, the 40x20 is probably moving too much air on the hotend. I've noticed I have a lot of deflection.
Please DO NOT mess around in the open powersupply, especially with a metal tool! (I did the replacement too, you should unplug the printer and drain the powersupply's caps!)
I was specifically looking for drop in replacement quite fans. I only see noctua tutorials. I also prefer not to use buck converters and from what I've heard, noctua fans lack the necessary air pressure needed to cool the stock heatsink especially on longer prints. Thanks for doing this. You got a new sub!
@@Jonahmeans1024 I bought all the fans from Digikey. You can probably buy them from somewhere else but for me in Sweden, Digikey was the cheapest and fastest. The links are in the description :)
I really wish noctua made a 24v fan in the right size. The only thing stopping me from getting one of their 24v 140mm fans and 3d printing an adapter is the fact I already had a printer with which I had a larger fan, and the hotend couldn't keep up with the cooling
Amazing video! Thank you so much. Please keep up the good work and I loved the t shirt changes. Lol. Also, I just finished this upgrade tonight. Thank you so much for all of the info. You really helped me out a lot! Keep the videos coming bro!!
If you wanted it to be quieter you should have put 12v fans on with 12v buc converter, but great video easy to see what you were doing and hear you easily, and I like the fanduct/hotend housing 👍
I bought the fan housing from cults3d linked from this but the zip file has files for several printers. There are 8 different holder pins, none of which say Ender 3v2. Anyone have any idea which to use?
Stock fans can be powered from 12 to 24v. I didn't buy any particular fan and used the stock one with dc dc step down mini bucks. I've the Ender 3 V2 Neo, and now it's silent without any particular mods, simply I've used Mini 360 bucks on the stock PSU and mainboard fans that I've choosen from 12-15v till obtain low noise and still good airflow. And opened with a cupsaw the power supply cover to have more air flow. On the hot end I've used a Sunon MF40202V2-1000C-A99 DC 24V 0.68W 40x40x20mm achieved for 21 db. I don't need any other special mods, now my Ender 3 print's well and has very low noise.
i build the same setup except for different mainboard and psu fan, really love the hotend casing design, with 4020 part cooling fan, i can print pla faster due to better cooling solution.. thank you very much!. yeah my girlfriend also doesnt complain anymore! about the printer.. XD
"First time youtuber" ... complete with jump cuts, cliche music, dead pan continuity humor, and 11:11 play time. Well played, sir. Also yeah screw this hair dryer nonsense on a printer with silent steppers. As a guy coming from a delta mini kossel that sounded like robots doing the ctrl+v, there is no reason for this printer to be so loud.
Your FIRST video?? Better than 90% of RUclips!
I thought the exact same. It’s wayyyy better than my videos. I still have a long way to go to get to his level
Not being able to produce videos of this quality first try is the reason why I haven't started a RUclips channel yet, definitely not just because I'm lazy :)
You said it! For a first video, this is phenomenal.
"My girlfriend doesn't complain anymore.....
...about the printer."
Legit got a lol out of me, great video!
13 wardrobe changes 😀 I love it. Great job and good fan selection. People get so hung up on noctua but these are the right fans for the job!
Very cool, Its alot quieter. I think that sound app is more sensitive at lower frequencies, but lower frequencies are always alot easier on the ears, so great job, Id love to try this one. Didnt expect a fashion show at the end but good choice in clothing as well
Wrong. The app measure the content of total power spectral and the noise is bigger. As you say the fundamental frequency shift to lower value and is more pleasant to ears. This is because the stock fan have a higher pitch and normally higher pitch have lower power. But from a scientific point of view this is a total failure because we don't know if the static pressure of the new fans are better or worse, but if your metrics are only your ears then the measure from the phone are a stupid thing to do. If you don't like what you see with your instruments you always repeat the experiment after you found what variable was wrong. Another important thing is ¿why change the fan inside your PSU and board if you don't measure the result? I doubt the fan from the stock PSU are louder, but these is what you see when you have more money to spend and little brain to use. Sunon and Orion are top quality without doubt but we don't know what of all the changes improve the perceive sound in subjective way as this video claim. In regard of wardrobe changes we have a wise phrase in my country "aunque la mona se vista de seda mona queda".

Has nobody realized how many time he changed his shirt ! Great video bud!

Raise the printer a bit to get more clearance for the PSU and presto. With the mods in the video I was at 63 Db, with the Noctua for the PSU, I'm at 53! Extra bonus to this setup is that it's not on all the time either and with it off the noise even drops to 49-50 Db!
This video is a textbook example of good continuity. I didn't notice any weird wardrobe changes!
I know a Defqon logo when i see one! Good taste, nice video!
Thanks for the video. I have found that my fans are the loudest just as it starts up and then quiets down before it begins to print. I plan on using your video to do this mod this weekend. Thanks. Great first video. Good production value for sure.
Thank you as well! Keep in mind that the part cooling fan doesn't spin at 100% the first and second layer so that is why it is quiet in the beginning. Also, the mainboard fan is not always on, only until it gets too warm underneath the printer :)
Well, if that was really your first tutorial video, you have an innate talent👏👏👏
I've just got an Ender 3 V2 and I'm surprised how much louder it is than the original Ender 3, definitely going to do this mod.
Hope you are working on more V2 mods because I really like your video
the original didn't come with the silent boards. My original is far louder than the V2. Unless you are talking about the fan unit. Hearing the stepper motors compared to my V2 drives me insane
If that is your FIRST video, you should definitely keep creating more... ;)
Thank you so much, i was struggling to find a complete guide to change the fans. First video or not, very good job overrall. Sound and explications were good.
Nice work! At first I thought the t shirts was just bad editing but then it became clear it was part of the fun. Only small suggestion would be some foam or similar to lower the echo in your room. =)
Thank you!
I just used the built in mic in my camera so that is why the quality was a little poor. But an upgrade is due in future videos!
Showed up for the fan info, stayed for the DefQon tat.
"Even my girlfriend doesn’t complain anymore… About the printer".
Hilarious, my dude.
Good video, I think you'll do just fine.
“Even my girlfriend doesn’t complain anymore… about the printer😞” lmaoo got me dying
Nice, didn't know Rudy Ayoub was not only a musician and a terrible comedian but also a 3D printing enthusiast!
The shirt changes got me!
My main concern is voltage- actually just wiring in general. You briefly touched on buck converters, but can't you just buy fans that're 12V's? Also, i don't know how to solder. Can I use those crimp connectors or do I suck it up and go pick up a cheap kit at harbor freight and learn?
Subbed for the new t-shirt thingy alone, but ofc also for the great info.. thx :P
you can add 330 ohm resistor to the hotend fan to bring the noise down a bit on that. Standard fan is a 40x10, the 40x20 is probably moving too much air on the hotend. I've noticed I have a lot of deflection.
How many watt the resistor? And how long last it? I saw some small bucks 20x10 mm that are able to regulate 24v down to 3,3v.
Please DO NOT mess around in the open powersupply, especially with a metal tool! (I did the replacement too, you should unplug the printer and drain the powersupply's caps!)
You are absolutely right! I am so sorry I didn't mentioned this in the video. It is my fault all the way. I'll put it in the description just in case.
Fantastisk första (Really?!) video! Blir några sunon fläktar, helt klart. Keep it up!
This is an awesome first video, I like the shirt cuts very much.
Great job for a first video! Thanks for the info!
I was specifically looking for drop in replacement quite fans. I only see noctua tutorials. I also prefer not to use buck converters and from what I've heard, noctua fans lack the necessary air pressure needed to cool the stock heatsink especially on longer prints. Thanks for doing this. You got a new sub!
I know right! Noctua fans are great and all but they don't seem to be otpimal for this type of replacement. And thank you for the sub!
@@Randomecticly yeah they're not quite optimal (especially for the heatsink). Also where did you buy the Orion fans?
@@Jonahmeans1024 I bought all the fans from Digikey. You can probably buy them from somewhere else but for me in Sweden, Digikey was the cheapest and fastest. The links are in the description :)
@@Randomecticly yeah, should've checked that first :)). I'm from Europe too. Were there any custom fees (from what I know Orion fans come from USA)?
@@Jonahmeans1024 Yeah unfortunately.. I had to pay 20 euros-.- But i'm not sure it is the same for other countries.
I really wish noctua made a 24v fan in the right size. The only thing stopping me from getting one of their 24v 140mm fans and 3d printing an adapter is the fact I already had a printer with which I had a larger fan, and the hotend couldn't keep up with the cooling
mad man changed his shirt 10 times and put hoodie as bonus!!!
Excellent first video dude. Keep 'em coming, you have a talent for it.
Great video. Liked your explanations and humour. Keep up the good work and continue to upload more videos 👍
Thanks for the guide, greatly appreciated! Detailed and to the point, keep it up!
Amazing video! Thank you so much. Please keep up the good work and I loved the t shirt changes. Lol. Also, I just finished this upgrade tonight. Thank you so much for all of the info. You really helped me out a lot! Keep the videos coming bro!!
If you wanted it to be quieter you should have put 12v fans on with 12v buc converter, but great video easy to see what you were doing and hear you easily, and I like the fanduct/hotend housing 👍
Love the blue down jacket!
Dude went through his entire wardrobe for this one video 😂😂
Your hair blower earned you a subscriber
Thank you for this video. You helped me make decisions on what changes to make to my 3D printer.
THIS IS FANTASTIC!
I know this is your first video but I'm going to be as critical as humanly possible, read at your own risk.
Great job 👍
I find my E3 V2 to be amazingly quiet. So... thanks for your efforts but I am good.
for your first video, not bad mate, not bad at all
Awesome video! Just finished setting up my Ender 3 V2 a couple hours ago and wow it is loud, may just have to do this mod.
I bought the fan housing from cults3d linked from this but the zip file has files for several printers. There are 8 different holder pins, none of which say Ender 3v2. Anyone have any idea which to use?
Awesome video. For a first vid this is stellar. Keep it up!
great video and the new shirt for every cut was amazing lol
Stock fans can be powered from 12 to 24v. I didn't buy any particular fan and used the stock one with dc dc step down mini bucks.
I've the Ender 3 V2 Neo, and now it's silent without any particular mods, simply I've used Mini 360 bucks on the stock PSU and mainboard fans that I've choosen from 12-15v till obtain low noise and still good airflow. And opened with a cupsaw the power supply cover to have more air flow.
On the hot end I've used a Sunon MF40202V2-1000C-A99 DC 24V 0.68W 40x40x20mm achieved for 21 db. I don't need any other special mods, now my Ender 3 print's well and has very low noise.
i build the same setup except for different mainboard and psu fan, really love the hotend casing design, with 4020 part cooling fan, i can print pla faster due to better cooling solution.. thank you very much!. yeah my girlfriend also doesnt complain anymore! about the printer.. XD
Please keep making videos. Really enjoyable comedy and helpful info
Watching all the way from Zimbabwe !! Good Video
Love and respect to you from Sweden! And thank you :)
Damn good for your first video! you've earned a subscriber !
I don't think I'll replace the fans, but thanks for the guide on disassembly!
"First time youtuber" ... complete with jump cuts, cliche music, dead pan continuity humor, and 11:11 play time. Well played, sir. Also yeah screw this hair dryer nonsense on a printer with silent steppers. As a guy coming from a delta mini kossel that sounded like robots doing the ctrl+v, there is no reason for this printer to be so loud.
dam the weather in that room changing like crazy
