@@DavidBekker housing is very much not needed in a printfarm setting. And yes cooling is better without and less weight on the hotend. The housing is actually pretty heavy. There is a printable housing on ankermakrs stl site with much better airflow but I dont need it. And to be sure with the noctuas i have it off. I think noctua push a little less air then originals but so much more silent.
@@liljon870 i dont have parts to show but could try later in the week. The trick is that you cut the cable close to the old one because we need the smal socker. Now you cut the cable on the noctua fan with some extra length. Now we have to make the metal parts bare on the cable parts. I lately use a ligther to burn away isolation in the ends. Do so you have enough to twist the ends so they get stiffer. Now you cross the ends you want to connect and twist them together no soldering needed. When this is done i isolate the bare metal of the cables with shrink tubes or Electric tape. Black is always minus and I do remember noctua have 4 If iam right and simply cut the 2 extra away. Noctua fans are enabled to be able to control the speed on an why it have 4. But you only need plus and minus because cooling always run at full speed. I think I searched the cable order on noctua online when I did it. I hope this helps. Iam at my fulltime jobb a industrial factory so hard to write.
@liljon870 its a petg print so fans on max 10'20 %. But I have modded my machines to use creality fans that is double the size. And they are super silent even on 100%. I have the files for the mod on cults 3d. Not had time to make video about them because all machines run work in petg. But hope for the weekend. I made a adapter to add bigger cooling fans.
I’m going to search your adapter to make it, can you still use the print head cover with it? I use the black one you have on your m5c on your cult3d photo (sorry for my english i’m French)
Do you take the hotend housing off to improve airflow with the Noctua fans? I read that the airflow is insufficient for cooling

Can you make a video on how you replace the fan for the noctua? I ordered one but i’m not sure how to do the wiring

Thank you, i’ll try tomorrow 👌🏼
Noctua is in and it’s great
How do you make de part cooling fan so quiet?
