- My hot end fan has gone bad and the replacement from Creality was not the same type. Here is my solution. Sorry for the filming angles. I'm not a professional.

I just got this problem and the damn thing broke 1 day after the machine's guarantee expired lmao, now I gotta go back to the trenches and find a super over the top upgrade that will fix my printer for a LOOOONGGGG time (thanks for the links)
UPDATE:
I replaced the fans and installed this upgrade (ty for the tutorial) turns out the ceramic liner got melted (apart from the fan) because of the excessive heat and is messing up my prints.
If you have this problem as well AFTER doing the whole fan replacement, get yourself a: Ender 3 V3 SE Hotend Kit replacement.
They are about 17-18 bucks and will fix any weird heat related problem you get if your heat sink fan died.
I have the same printer and I just started getting that same noise after having the printer for about a month. Your video was the first to pop up. I think i will buy a couple Noctua fans and replace both fans to help make the printer quieter
Don't stress about the camera angles, they showed everything we needed to see.
Are the fans in general sort of loud on this one? The Ender 3 howled before aftermarket fans
My KE does the same!😂 That little tube I think you heat up and the metal melts and solder the wires together.
This is correct. That is a low heat solder inside the shrink tube. Just heat it with a lighter or hot air gun and it will melt the solder and fuse the wires together.
ok so I just want to add my case...
I was having some noise and then it became like very bad. First I thought it was the filament guide was broken, but then, after opening the hotted I`ve noticed that the fan was making this noise.
I watched this video and was already thinking of purchasing a new one, because everyone was saying "yep, it's gone"... So, since I was going to swap it, I've thought, well maybe I will try to clean it up.
If you set the nozzle temp to 50 deg, the fan will start... so I removed the fan from the cooler, and let it run on my hand... for my surprise, it wasn't making any noise... So I've screwed back and set to 50 deg... and the noise started again... so I thought... it has to be the vertical position... I removed again, and ran on my hand vertically... no noise...
So I thought... probably the screws... I've added back but only put 2 screws diagonally... and the noise was there... then I've started unscrewing a little bit while running... and the NOISE WAS GONE...
So what I think it... the holes are not flat... when you screw too tight, it bends the plastic case of the fan and it starts to scratch somewhere inside. So I would recommend testing this and see how it goes... for me, leaving the diagonal screw not too tight fixed the problem.
Yeah, that fan sounds like it's already worn out. I suggest getting some fans with actual ball bearings. The " hydraulic" bearings don't always work at different angles.
So I had this. I backed the mounting screws looser by about a quarter turn. It’s hitting the heatbrake when cold. If you give it a little ‘wiggle room’ the stock fan stops making that horrible grinding noise
fyi, that electrical connector you are using (the clear tube with the white bands towards the ends and the metal in the inside middle) is not a crimp fitting. It's meant to be heated with a heat gun. The metal inside is a low temp solder that will melt and solder the wires and the clear tubing is shrink tubing that will shrink and seal the connection.
Ah, i see you did heat it some, but couldn't see if the solder melted.
1. got a free replacement from creality. but as soon when this one fails im going to upgrade it all with a noctua fan (will it work?
2. im sorry but i watched ur video just to make shure that i dindt switch up the 2 fans in the motherboard. i've been dealing with a blob of death for the last 2 days but i think im good now
It will work, but it may introduce heat creep, since it has a lower rpm to stay quieter, which moves less air. Point being, you have to try it.
This holds up to the heat in PLA/PLA+??
I have had big problems with getting replacement fans from creality. Getting the wrong fans and the connectors are always broken. in the bag.
Hey, bit of a random one, what are the fan screw sizes as I received a new hot end but I threw away the old one with the fan attached 😅 got a new fan but struggling to find the screws.
I beleive they are M3's. I took one to Ace Hardware and matched it to some. I then bought like 10 to have as spares. Super cheap.
They are M2
Try to look at some rc hobby shops that sell ECS for brushed or brushless motors which have the same size of that small fan.I hope that will work
They’re usually 5v fans on rc cars. Printers are 24 v.
I got the fan from Creality on Amazon delivered in two days. What has me upset is the printer is less than 6 month old and the fan is already shot. I have two of these printers and I've already had to replace the BL Touch on both of them.
I run them from a Sonic Pad which I had to buy extra usb to serial cables since these printers have no usb onboard. I assume it's because of the Sonic Pad hack they worked up, the printers will not resume a print. They ask if you want to resume then they drive the hotend down through your print trying to home first.
I'm about done with Creality at this point.
I have a Creality Ender 3 V3 SE and an Ender 3 V2 Neo. both have a Usb port. I'm not sure what version you have though. Interesting.
Had exactly the same issue... got a few drops of 3in1oil, noise gone... given that it is a brushless motor, oil poses no problem... been quiet for a couple of months now...
Mine does the exact same thing when it first turns on. Drives me nuts. Been looking to fix it or replace it!
All the best!
I did this upgrade last night and love it. It’s so quiet now when the fa comes on and runs so much cooler!
So, do you not have any problem with printing these parts with PLA? correct? This not melt, all ok?
I do not have problems with PLA. They do not melt when used for cooling. At least I've never had any problems.
@@appsbyaaron thanks!
I had problems with the nozzle melting i printed it using petg, what kind of filament did you use to make it? 🎉
I use PLA. I haven't tried other types of filament.
@@appsbyaaron 😯 is it a special Kind of PLA like PLA tough, also what temp did you make it? I dont get how the nozzle ring for me melted, i used petg 😮💨
@@punkreeperful I usually print at 220c
@@appsbyaaron I know what went wrong with me, I was printing PETG and I slowed down the fan, thats when the fan duct started to melt
I don’t have a heat gun or soldering knowledge. Any other recommendations to fix it with regular tools and a new fan? (I have KE, not SE btw)
If your kit comes with the connector tubes then you can use a match or lighter to shrink them.
@@appsbyaaron Thanks. I saw that some people upgraded to better noctua fans but it requires more work. The sound is really annoying and I’m waiting for a response from Creality :/
@@appsbyaaronmay I ask you some questions about the Ender 3 v3 SE
@@guy_kisser You sure can!
mine is new and sounds exactly the same.. it's annoying because its sounds like it's about to die
fan is on backwards
EDIT: glad you caught it... Always remember, ugly side blows.
Is it a 2010, 2020 or 3010 fan? I found a 4 pack of 24volt 3010 hydraulic bearing fans on Amazon for $6.99-
30x30x10mm 24V Fan DC Brushless Cooling Fan 3010 DC 24V Compatible with 3D Printer Extruder Hotend V6 V5 CPU 2Pin (4 PCS)
This is a 40mm 24v fan. Whatever you can find in that voltage should work. I've recently upgraded my nozzle fan to a 24v 5015 and have been thinking about making a adapter for the extruder too.
@@appsbyaaron sounds good
The fan ends are micro jst 2 pin and I believe pin pitch is 1.0mm
You need more distance between the fan and the heatsink otherwise you already saw youre getting back pressure from the fan.
Can anyone tell me if he’s using pla to print that part??? I feel like it would melt lol I know dumb question
He is using PLA ;)
@@appsbyaaronthe real question is did it melt? 😂
@@DOM1N4TOR_FR34K I only use PLA and none of the printed cooling fan parts have melted. They hold up great.
@@appsbyaaron I am surprised by that. Maybe I will try that will PLA too. I kind of gotten a ender 3 V3 SE myself but I was a bit sad cause I never knew that the V3 KE is slightly better than the SE 😅. My current 2510 fan broke so I am waiting for a replacement thanks to my warranty but I felt like I should have gotten the KE due to the limitation I feel being just started doing 3D printing on my own.
My current filament felt like it is making my printer feel like a nightmare to work with cause it has extrusion issues due to either the filament itself or the machine. The filament I am using is the Creality ender series grey. It doesn't work well with medium speeds and somewhat has issues even at lower speeds. Maybe I should have gotten a KE 💀
@@DOM1N4TOR_FR34K very interesting. I've had more issues with gray from any vendor than I have with other colors. Silks tend to work very well for my SE.
Love the confidence to post a video on a fix when you don't know what you're doing 😂
Thank you. And hopefully that will give others confidence to make the repair on thier own too.
Agreed! We all start somewhere and you can't learn by just looking you have to take it apart and these printers really aren't difficult once you open them up.
My KE does the same damn thing...trying to figure out how to replace it, because the fans I bought off Amazon seem to have the wrong sized plug.
Limited-time deal: TICONN 150 PCS Solder Seal Wire Connectors, Heat Shrink Butt Connectors, Waterproof and Insulated Electrical Wire Terminals, Butt Splice (150PCS) a.co/d/4kNh1Mm
You may need to just cut and solder with something like this. Keep in mind the power needs of the fan or you'll burn something up like your motherboard.
@@appsbyaaronyeah, i just bought some proper connectors and some shrink wrap. Guess I am learning how to splice lol
@@appsbyaaronok so I bought those connectors, and tried splicing them. I haven't seen the fan turn on yet...I don't know what to do at this point.
@@appsbyaaronhow did you test it? how do i get the fan to turn on?
What's the original fan spec's and size?
It's 4010 24v. Winsin have some pretty decent fans for cheap and they are pretty silent. But I recommend using a different shroud. They are more flexible if you want to install for example 4020 or higher fans
Also sounds like it may be wrong voltage
I did a lot of research before I made the change. This front fan is the replacement from Creality so I think its ok
@@appsbyaaron oh, ok
Здравствуйте. Скажите пожалуйста, как работает данный апгрейд спустя месяц?
After 1 months of use it still performs perfectly. I have no problems with it at all.
@@appsbyaaron Большое спасибо.
This was painful to watch lol
Sorry you had to go through that LOL
But seriously, I'm not a professional youtuber. I made this for my brother who lives 1,000 miles from me and I thought "if Tim could benifit from this someone else might too."
great video, but i really hope that next time, you will turn your phone around when filming other stuff than tik tok :)
Whats the other mod you have with the white fillament? Where do i out the other fan

Not sure what you're asking about the "other fan".
