Better check the dimensions of the PSU and use the digital tapeline in netfapp to double-check the clearance. It might be a littlebit of.
Right now I am printing a featured thing from thingiverse and everything looks good so far. The PSU is cold with the new fan but the existing fan shroud makes this fan noisy.

Re: Loud Fans
I just made this swap yesterday and the difference in the noise levels is astounding. It used to sound like I had a dustbuster running on my desk and now it's nearly silent. I only replaced the 40mm fans with Noctua's, the 50mm fan is stock since I couldn't find a 24v 50mm quiet fan to swap it with. 90% of the printer noise is those two 40mm fans. The PSU fan and 50mm fan are nowhere near as loud, and when the printer is printing they're actually slightly quieter than the steppers anyway so I don't think they're even worth replacing. What a fantastic improvement, thanks for posting it.
BTW, MakerGear if you're listening. My 40mm extruder fan was already failing, grinding noises after a month. I wasn't going to ask you to spend $5 to ship me a $1 fan, but you might want to consider going to a better fan or maybe offering a DeLuxe version of the M2.
Proposed DeLuxe version +$200
-Noctua 40mm fans for extruder and controller
-v4 Hotend
-Full Graphic LCD display preconfigured
Would have been a no-brainer for me and probably others. I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I love my M2 even more now.
cheers,

Re: Loud Fans
Go install the NEMA17 dampers I listed in another thread. If you've swapped fans, then do that mod too. It's astounding.Vandal968 wrote:I just made this swap yesterday and the difference in the noise levels is astounding.

WOW! The difference is amazing. I just ordered a set. Here's a link to the damper thread for anyone following along at home...
