What about the printed parts?

Dont forget to buy some fan, or your Jhead arm can melt, or just bend :slight_smile:

@Enrico_Colautti I have access to another 3d printer so I printed them myself. If you want a kid makercoast sells them for $25 on eBay.

@Kamil_D I’ve also got a 40mm fan lying around that I’m gonna use. I don’t want to melt any hotend mounts!

So hook it up to the power, so it will run all the time. Then if you want you can print some mount from thingiverse for second nozzle fan :slight_smile:

I was having parts from makercoast, overall printed nice, but abs and around 25 infill (if i remember right) wasn’t enough and they were cracking and breaking :confused: Only lot of trouble, at least for me.

They also offer pla which is what mine are printed out of.

Are you saying splice the fan in where I get power from my power supply?

So its good. When I was ordering they were having only Abs parts.

Yes, wire it to the connector where you crimp your atx cables to ramps. I can take a photo for you, but give me 1 hour to get back home from university. You can also change in Marlin to use two fans, but its easier, and the fan is running after every power up of the printer.

I just bought an I3 printer, but still waiting for the delivery. BTW, mieszkasz może w Warszawie?

Sprzedawca ma dobre oceny i mam nadzieję, że będzie OK. Już tam kupiłem elektronikę do innej drukarki i wszystko było w porządku.
