Bracket for using 40x10 fans on Flashforge Creator 3 motherboard fans
Description
* please note: you cna use this bracket anywhere you have two mount holes 55mm apart * I've recently acquired a Creator 3, coming from a Creator Pro and then a Pro2 those two were noisy in their stepper drivers, their fans were noisy but almost acceptable during daytime. However the Creator 3 is like a vacuum cleaner, blimey I tought Mr. Henry was left switched on. Had to do something about! Here we go, the two blower fans to cool the mainboard were super noisy (even if the machine only had 1400hrs) at over 60Db. Also will have a poor airflow, being concentrated in a small area. I've since designed a bracket to fit 40x10 fans in the 55mm apart M4 holes, but the original fans run on 24v and the NoiseBlocker (and all the other quality ones) run on 12v, so the bracket has a mount for a Buck-converter too. This one in the picture is the "AZ Delivery" you can find on Amazon, but there's enough room to mount any other you have on hand. All neat and perfectly working. I've also made a use of those tiny heatsinks that were in a mixed pack, I thought I would never use them, but they can only do good here. The average operating noise of the motherboard is now below 40Db so virtually "silent". Next step, tackle the PSU fan.
