Hello, 3D Printing friends! This is the FAN SERVICE episode! Today we're going replace the hot end fan on an Ender 3, installing JST-SM connectors so that the NEXT time we have to do this, it's just a matter of unplugging the old fan and plugging in the new one. And I'm doing this to the parts cooling blower, too. And this will make it easier to work on the hot end, because we can unplug BOTH fans and completely remove the fan shroud if we need to.

For future reference, those fans come with 2.54 JST XH connectors. You can leave the fans alone, and add the appropriate male connectors to the original wiring harness. This way, if you ever need to replace the fans again it's literally plug and play.

@jf6720 2 года назад

Great tip, thanks!

@alexjp9056 2 года назад

Would you then need to solder the female jst xh connector to the original wiring harness? Jst xh female connector seem to have fixed pins that would need to be soldered

@the_bishop 2 года назад

@@alexjp9056 Yes, you'd have to solder in the connector to the harness, but the benefit of that is you shouldn't have to touch the harness again, swaps would be 'plug and play' from that point forward.

@gushhnet Год назад

Aren't standard pin headers also 2.54? Could be a cheaper/readily available option without the need to crimp, just solder and heat shrink. the problem is you get the connectors inverted (male ends up at the printer cable and female is what the fans come with) for the amount of duty they'll see I don't know it it's worth buying a crimper and a kit of connectors, it would be the ideal choice though. Too bad they cheaped out at Creality with this and now most upcoming printers wont be using regular extrusion profiles anymore due to cost and wanting people to buy the new model instead of upgrading... Could provide better rigidity as-is but you can't mod the frames anymore

Great content. I have to replace fans on an entire farm this week and this really helped streamline the planning process and steps for long term maintenance.

@brianj.7466 3 года назад

Fantastic tutorial! Amazon now has the same crimping tool you used and so I ordered that along with the other parts. First time crimping, it was a bit of a headache! But after a few tries I finally figured out how to get them on. Got the fan working wonderfully, those who attempt this will need to exercise some patience if you're a first timer like me, experience may vary!

@Yakena1 3 года назад

Came back to re-watch once again after my E3 cooling fan failed. Followed your instructions and came out perfect. I did waste a few pins learning, but after that all crimps went first try! Thanks for a great informative video!

@lorisrobots Год назад

Thanks! This was a big help in doing my first fan replacement. Took a few tries to get the crimping right but definitely nice to have it setup for easier replacement in the future.

Having to replace my hot end fan as it just died all of a sudden, I really like your idea of the JST connectors so will be copying this to a T. Nicely done video and easy to follow, thanks for that

@patrickpittman6966 3 года назад

Thanks for the excellent advice and run-through! I managed to break my hotend fan, and this was one of the top results on how to fix it. I was dreading the "rewire to the board" portion of the repair, so you saved me a lot of work! I also got to buy some new toys (crimping tool, etc.), so that's a bonus!

@ethansdad3d 4 года назад

I wish I'd have watched this video sooner. I did this recently for the part cooling fan on my Prusa, which is a 3 pin fan, so a little different connector, but I've apparently put the socket connector on the wrong side. Your explanation of why you put the socket on the powered end makes sense and is a great tip.

@BV3D 4 года назад

I have a Prusa MK3. I wish there were some kind of quick disconnects for everything on the hotend so it wouldn't be quite so much of a pain to work on. 😄 I'm glad you liked the video!

@coreymac2381 4 года назад

A great video for people new to repairing and upgrading their printers. I do like the SM JST connectors. I have used the Dupont connectors and put a piece of electrical tape around the connection to keep it secure. The JST connectors are much better.

@BV3D 4 года назад

Hi Corey Mac! I hadn't thought about putting a bit of tape on the Dupont connectors, but I can see how that would work, too. 😉

@noturbinesinhell6081 6 месяцев назад

Fantastic video! I’ve never done anything electrical before aside from twisting wires together and calling it a day but this is much better. I used the exact tools and fans in the link, it took me quite a few tries and a lot of broken connectors to get the crimping down but after a bit of practice on the broken parts cooling fan I was able to put a new one on! Once my hotend fan needs replacing I’ll do this again.

Love the Iwiss crimping tool, I tried quite a few others before finding the Iwiss, a great addition to the tool kit

@BV3D 4 года назад

It really is! I have a couple of other ones. One is the ratcheting type, which invariably crushes the connectors, and the other one is sort of like the Iwiss, but doesn't do as good of a job. 👍

So thank you again i cant wait to print tomorrow thanks again.

@BrianReichert 3 года назад

I spent a few years working at a place that build cable assemblies and harnesses. In short, we would make custom cables with whatever ends the customer needed and that involved a LOT of crimping on of pins and stuffing them into connectors. The way you do it is exactly the right way. I was cringing a bit at the idea that some people just crimp the pins on and let them punch through the insulation. For low voltage stuff you can probably get away with it but it is not "the right way" and could be dangerous.

@mikhailnaumov3251 3 года назад

Bryan, thank you for good video! I have used Wago connectors, during fan replacement + designed and printed appropriate Wago holder :) Next time, probably, will use your method of wire connection, to reduce repair size.

@REVideoStudio 3 года назад

Hey Bryan! First of thank you very much for your great content. It has made getting up and running with our first 3D printer a lot easier. I recently got an Ender 3 V2 for me and my boys. The fan facing forward makes a laboured sound from time to time upon starting up the printer. I light flick on the housing usually results in the fan sounding "normal" again. I want to replace/upgrade the fan and figured I'd do the same with the second fan at the same time. It looks like the second fan is different than the one you show in this video. I'm not an electronics wizard so keeping things straightforward like you showed here is a help. What would your recommendation be to replace the "blower fan" and "parts fan" on an Ender 3 V2? Thanks in advance Bryan!

thanks for detail explain how to replace the fans. I noted my printer ender 3 v2 got 4010 24v fans , but I am not sure is it the 24v fans MUST to be big noise, even I the other one "silent" . because I found most RU-vidr will use the current converter for 12v fans. actually, my task for fans replacement is for silent. but I really concern the safety of the current convert of the printer.😅

One of my hot end fans on my 2 month old Ender 3 pro literally squeals when it starts up, so this is prime candidate for a replacement following your lesson .

Is the fan in the front go on when I turn the power on because its not moving and I am sure thats why I am having clogging issues and uneven layers? Like I know you have an ender 3 v2 does the hotend fan go on when you turn the power on? Ok thats it for the questions. Brian this a great step by step video I am going to do the samething you did to your ender 3 to my ender 3 V2. I am even going to put the extra connectors on the spare ones like you said but I can't do it until Tuesday thats when everything comes in thank you. I bought the same just connectors the winsinn fans I also bought the other fans with the yellow and blue wire made by winsinn. The crimping tool I didn't buy the same ones though they wouldn't get to me until August so I saw a similar pair by the same company they will get here Tuesday they are the IWISS IWS-1442L so they should work. Brian thank you again I hope you respond sorry it is so long. I will keep you updated if I remember thanks again.

@armani007E55 2 года назад

Nice video! Subbed.. question is it ok to solder these fans? Add shrink tube and call it a day? Thoughts? Safe?

@BV3D 2 года назад

Hi! Yes, you can do that. I find the benefit to using connectors is that I don't have to break out the soldering iron to change a fan. But you can certainly solder and use shrink tubing. (Pro tip: Put the shrink tubing on the wires before you solder them... Been there, done that, laughed at myself because of it).
