A few mods for the new M2 Rev E
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2016 1:18 am
I'm new here and fairly new to 3D printing. Thanks to this forum, I completed a minor "overhaul" of my new M2 Rev E printer. I installed a new 60mm Noctua 12V fan in the PSU and two 40mm Noctua 12V fans on the extruder and within the electronics box. I used one DC to DC converter to step down 24V to 12.2V and am feeding that from the extruder back down to the electronics box. Before I started the project, I printed an enclosure for the converter from Thingiverse and double side taped it to the top of the extruder motor. It's plug and play and I didn't mess with any of the factory wiring except stealing a pigtail off of one of the stock 24V fans. I'm using a digital LCD converter, so it was super simple to set up and adjust. I left the stock 50mm fan since it's variable speed anyhow.
I also installed Nema 17 dampers for both the X and Y axis'. The machine is unbelievable quiet now.
