Noise Reduction or: How to silence your snapmaker 2.0

Usefull topics from the forum and other sides I found so far:

A topic about the original fans and options. I ordered most of these fans (and some others) and will provide data as soon as I have tested various combinations and/or alternatives.

A topic about a bigger and better cooling fan. This is mainly about improving print quality, but I think it will provide some noise reduction because of the larger and most times quieter fan. Will be tested as soon as parts arrive.

An alternative backplate for a 40mm PSU case fan. This is a valid alternative, especially because the PSU case provides enough space for a 40mmx20mm fan which is a lot quieter while providing more airflow.

An alternative workaround for a bigger PSU case fan I found in a topic here in the forum (not sure which one, already lost track :sweat:). I seams quite nice, I will also test this one, but might use a wider fan (40x20mm).

Other work-in-progress projects:

  1. Reducing the transmitted vibration with foam pads or rubber granulate pads.
  2. Soundproof the enclosure with acoustic foam.
  3. Bigger 12V PC fan for enclosure exhaust (more airflow, better regulation, less noise).
  4. Noise reduction effect of an airfilter for the enclosure exhaust (is also important for me because I can’t exhaust outside.

Please give me some time to test all this things, if you already use some of these or different approaches or have ideas for tests send me a pm or post in this topic!
