Here you have the information of the Fans in Snapmaker 2 and its enclosure plus some direct replacement alternatives I’ve found that have similar specs but less noise ( according to specs given, still have not had time to test them): NOTE: In general, better order ball bearing ones as they will be…

Hi, Did you open up the front too? Just behind the front grill, there is a plastic (acting as a diffusor for the “fancy” light), which blocks over 95% of the air intake. Take it out and you can also take out the noisy backpanel fan, because now the bigger power supply fan (which is pretty quiet) ca…

I guess ita cooling the capacitors of the power loss recovery. Higher temps are aging capacitors faster…

Yes, them too, but if the air could move freely the small fan would not be needed, or at the most, very low revs would suffice (=practically silent). As it is now, it needs to work hard at very high revs, because there is only a very small air gap at the front of the box. It is easily fixed if you c…

Well, those capacitors don’t get warm at all, I’ve only seen them at 33 degree’s with ambient temps at 28 degrees. I have only been laser cutting though. As for the intake, I didn’t modify it at all I think it’s fine with volume of air able to get into the internal PSU, there is a noticeable amount …

The airflow is limited by two narrow gaps, as you mention. The problem is not the 60mm fan, it seems to be able to pull plenty of air through the actual power supply. But removing the front plastic will have a very noticeable impact on getting air into the box. Just put your hand behind the PSU, bot…

Well I ran the PSU with no fan for 5 min, with an open case (Don’t try that at home sorta thing), just to find what was making the most heat, and it’s hands down the transformer at 42 degrees in 5 min. With the case all assembled and case closed up, 36 degrees after an hour of cutting, I honestly th…

I successfully replaced the original back fan of the power unit (the original 2.0 version, not the updated revision) with one of those hydraulic fans: [image] WINSINN 35mm Lüfter 24V Hydrauliklager bürstenlos 3510 35x10mm - hohe... ►Hydrauliklager 3510 Lüfter…

[image] Exteme loud power supply fan Snapmaker 2.0 My solution was to replace the built in case fan with a quieter one from Amazon. I went with a 5 pack because I can use the rest around in projects, I got these: FYI, those particular fans (and others I’m sure) have a…

My bad. I thought they were talking about the fan for the enclosure. I believe the new update on the power unit is supposed to be more quite already. Is that because they changed out the fan type?
