It does, but my main goal was to run the fan slower for less noise.Jules wrote:Nice! That oughta cool it down!

My 80mm Bed Fan Mod

The duct builds with the 80mm flange on the table. I made everything in PLA with .1mm layers.

Re: New Extruder Drive Gear
My machine is wearing Hatchbox PETG in black. Had to be very careful with the pressure on the bearing as filament would flatten and get stuck in the extruder drive housing. Also had to back down on the extrusion multiplier (S3D) from 1.0 to 0.95. There is no visible difference in the parts printed w...

Re: How You Too Can Achieve Printing Nirvana
So do these caps of yours just sit on top of the bolt head? It's a clever idea.....might have to give some a try. I've got a bunch of different printing surfaces for the original M2. (Just a reminder though, for others reading the thread - not needed for the Rev.E machines.) ;) It goes over the bol...

Another way to make your M2 quiet
I had a cast iron plate out in the garage - weights about 75 lbs and is machined on one surface. I don't know what it was made for, but it belonged to my grandfather. I printed out some short legs for it and put rubber feet on them. I then put the plate on the floor and set my M2 on top of it. That ...

Re: How You Too Can Achieve Printing Nirvana
Put a MIC6 plate with 1/16" PEI together last weekend. VERY nice results. My aluminum is 1/4" which adds a lot of mass to the Y-slide, but doesn't appear to be causing any problems. I have been running with reduced accel and speeds in the 3200-3600 range. ABS at 80C PLA at 70C PETG at 70C In order t...

M2 Z-Axis Caps
I'm getting ready to make some alternative build platforms and the thickness is going to vary. I wanted an easy way to offset the Z-Axis stop without having to adjust the bolt every time I swap out a built platform. When printed with a .1mm layer, these caps provide a range of offsets from .1mm to 5...

For those who have enclosed, have you seen benefits in your build quality?

Re: Quieter Fans
My fan mods - I've had my M2 for just under a month. My approach to quieting the fans was to replace them with larger fans that run slower. Both the bed fan and the electronics fans were replaced with 80mmx15mm thick 24V fans. I just bought cheapo fans on eBay. I made a duct/mount for the bed fan to...
