Thanks for the video Bryan! Like you, I wanted to quiet the SV08 down where ever possible. Even at idle the motherboard fan is screaming away. This code was shared on the Facebook group. Added anywhere in the printer.cfg file, this will turn the motherboard fan off 2 minutes after the last stepper motor has turned or heater shut off. Also, causes the fan to run at 75% speed. Either of these can be adjusted to your taste. In my opinion, Sovol should be including this from the factory. At least they gave us a controlable pin (PA1) so we can do this ourselves - big props for that!

I installed the Noctua 40x10 24v before I ever turned the printer on, so I don't know what ya'll are talking about. Drop in replacement and whisper quiet, though more expensive.
Done the same to my creality CR6. Those 60mm 24v fans were so loud! I replaced them with 80mm 12v fans with a buck converter. Two years have passed since that mod and it still works great. I sleep near my printer and I do not have any issue even when it is working (made other several mods to reduce vibrations, hotend fan and part cooling fan noises)
Love it! I would ask you to contact Sovol and tell them directly so that Maybe they will consider this fix and change their manufacturing. Best video so far on fixing this issue and love the actual links with part numbers too. Sion there will embe a whole slew of extra fans and grills for sale super cheap in ebay. Thank you for another excellent video!
Thanks Bryan!! Just what I was looking for! When I first turned on my SV08 I thought a dump truck was backing up. The up and down resonance on top of the decibles was (and still is maddening)! I going to do this mod immediately!
Thanks Bryan, you always have useful content and just the right amount of puns. Having said that, your Super Villian alter ego should be "The Nibbler". Have a good one my friend.
Fans and shroud proximity, have been something that manufacturers still haven't figured out since Ender3 for some companies.. from an engineering perspective, it's honestly sad. They just have an obsession with these stamped fan shrouds and sticking the fans right against it.. all it takes is spacers to move the attachable style of shrouds a few mm further from the fan. Sometimes ground clearance becomes an issue, then you also need to extend the printer's feet a bit.
Hi. Thanks for the video. Just FYI, the link to the fans now takes me to a 12V fan instead of a 24V fan. There doesn't appear to be one from that manufacturer that's 24V. I guess you cornered the market!
Hello Bryan. I'm Frits from Holland;-) the Netherlands:-) Can you make a affiliate link 4 Amazon in Europe 🤗 It will help you with keeping up this channel 😊
Dad joke level = black belt I have one of those older dremels too and it just keeps on working. Been a phenomenal tool and I'm very familiar with that hot air that comes off the motor. Can make things uncomfortable sometimes. And those cutting wheels come in large packs for a reason. 😁 I've had a number of oopsies over the years where I put a brand new wheel on and immediately break it. The man who makes no mistakes never makes anything.
Thanks! This will be my first upgrade, though with a Noctua fan and magnetic screen cover. Did you use the code to reduce the fan speed when idle? It really helps.
I received my SV-08 on June 26. It has an aluminium bottom plate that has protection for the main wire loom. I would not recommend those fans that you link to Amazon. Winsinn makes 6010 / 24 volt a 4 pack for $20 USD. dual BB fans.
Sure "i dont have to source screws and stuff" Have an Ender 7 (well eh the frame still is original) it now has 6 5160's on an BBT Manta e3 with CM4, 3 ldo steppers and LDO Orbiter 3 tool head... And since then i own more screws one can shake a stick at m2 m3 m4 m5 in all lengts...
Do we REALLY have to mod every new printer because the fans sound like a hairdryer? I would gladly pay 30 bucks more for a SILENT printer, but no. The companies use the smallest, cheapest fans so they can save a few cents.

There is a software controllable fan header on the board. It is available in Klipper.
I've moved mine. Still doesnt quiet it down, nor does it cool very well
Nice video, Bryan. Excellent pun to info ratio. Don't forget to add in the few cents for the broken cutoff wheels, LOL.
Haha! I'm down to two or three cutoff wheels, and those are from the original batch that came with the Dremel.
Really enjoyed this video Bryan. I for one am a big FAN of yours, and I don't make a lot of noise! 😁
Haha! Thank you, Tim! ☺

I recommend the Noctua as well. Did you insert the code to reduce fan speed at idle? It helps alot also.
@@newCrysis Sure did thanks.
First thing I did when watching this was look up noctua🤣 found the fan you bought. Was it plug and play?
i can only find 3 or 4 pin noctua fans but isnt the sv08 fan 2 pin?
@@zac_in_ak It was.
You could put some locating pegs on the cutting template that fit in the original screw holes so it's always perfectly square.
That's not a bad idea!
@@BV3D Sounds a little OCD as it doesn't really matter if it's perfectly square

I just got my sv08 put together & measured my ambient noise level in the room at 48dB, and with the sv08 on (no mods) at 60dB (1 meter from the unit).
Thank you! just ordered the parts I need for this - I liked and subbed ya too!

For those who don't have a rotary tool, or don't want metal dust everywhere, I recommend using a nibbler (like the Radio Shack HT-204) instead.
Thanks Bryan.
Thanks Bryan, you always have useful content and just the right amount of puns. Having said that, your Super Villian alter ego should be "The Nibbler". Have a good one my friend.
Haha! I think The Nibbler needs a high-pitched laugh, and should always have a bag of chips handy.

Tacos!!! Wait, you talking about something? Saw tacos and brain shut down to all else… Tacos! 😂
Sounds like you and I have something to taco-bout. 🌮
simple code in printer.cfg file will make it run only when it is getting hot
adding a quieter fan, such as a Noctua, will help when running and idle. I love who ever figured out the code to reduce fan speed at idle.
Hi. Thanks for the video. Just FYI, the link to the fans now takes me to a 12V fan instead of a 24V fan. There doesn't appear to be one from that manufacturer that's 24V. I guess you cornered the market!
Thanks for the info! I updated the link in the description. Amazon sellers do weird things with their listings sometimes.

I need to this with my anycubic k2max. For the PSU and main board fans.
Stupid loud. 50-60 Db easy.
nice video.y ha some problen witu tolerance.can you make a video about how to improve it?
Thanks! This will be my first upgrade, though with a Noctua fan and magnetic screen cover. Did you use the code to reduce the fan speed when idle? It really helps.
How do you find the host temps with the new fan?
Hi, with an ambient temperature of 26.8˚C as reported by the bed, the host temp is around 44˚C and the MCU temp is around 32˚C.
@BV3D awesome. That sounds better than stock. It's about 12c down here and the host temp sits around 34 to 40c no load.
For small cheap parts one at a time, Aliexpress is hard to beat. I think you could get that total to around $2.
Did you changed the firmware or just updated the fan?
I didn't change the firmware, I only replaced the fan with a larger, quieter one.
send this to sovol, it will help everyone!

cool vid.
Sure "i dont have to source screws and stuff"
Have an Ender 7 (well eh the frame still is original) it now has 6 5160's on an BBT Manta e3 with CM4, 3 ldo steppers and LDO Orbiter 3 tool head...
And since then i own more screws one can shake a stick at m2 m3 m4 m5 in all lengts...
I had to make my CR10S Pro quieter. But never again.
Just buy a Noctua and skip the stupid drilling 🤦
All things considered, it was kinda fun. Thanks for reminding me, though - I forgot Noctua put out a 24V fan!
You don't actually cover those Dremel vents with your hand.
Now, I'm clearly no Dremel worker... 😅
5:25 cut out, a cut out to make a cut out to fix poor design 😁
Do we REALLY have to mod every new printer because the fans sound like a hairdryer?
I would gladly pay 30 bucks more for a SILENT printer, but no. The companies use the smallest, cheapest fans so they can save a few cents.
please just spend a little more and get a decent fan, those cheap ones fail fast and start rattling... a GDstime fan would do, its cheap and good
