Noctua NF-A4x10 24V PWM, 40mm Quiet Fan for 3D Printers and Other Applications, 4-Pin, 24V Version (40x10mm, Brown)

I used this fan on an Ender 3 V2 and did not need to modify anything. I connected it directly to the hot-end fan terminal so it runs all the time. The included adapters were helpful because I did not have to strip any wires myself. This saved me time and hassle.It is very quiet compared to the original mainboard fan. Cooling seems about the same even though this fan uses less power.The fan feels well made and comes with several adapter options. Overall it is a good value and worth the extra cost for the adapters and features.

These fans are fantastic but they need more connection options

After the second hotend fan went out in less than a year of owning my Ankermake M5C I decided to give this a try purely in the hopes that it would be a more durable replacement. While it's too soon to know how much longer it'll last compared to the oem replacement fans, I have to say that my overall print quality has improved dramatically! All the silly little issues that had me chasing my tail, tweaking settings constantly are now over. Layer adhesion, bed adhesion, bridging problems, elephant footing, general warping... gone. I've even been able to stop using brims or rafts and my supports separate with nearly no post-print cleanup. Obviously, your results may vary but I'm absolutely recommending this fan as the best drop-in hotend fan upgrade if you own an Ankermake M5C. Installation is a breeze using the included 2 wire adapter, a few hex wrenches from your ankermake tool kit, and some pliers to help lock down the scotch locks. Just cut off your old fan's connector leaving enough wire for routing around the extruder gear and connect it to the 2 wire adapter via the scotch locks (red to grey, black to black). If you've never used scotch locks before, remember that it's not necessary to strip the wires, just make sure they're fully inserted into the scotch lock and press the center down as straight as possible. If you get it canted, it could break the scotch lock (others have mentioned this in their reviews). Luckily, Noctua provides 4 in the kit so you have extras for 2 wire applications like the M5C. Otherwise the installation is just the same as an oem replacement and instructions can be found on Ankermake's support site. If I somehow acquire another M5C, I'd do this swap as soon as it's out of the box. I'm that sold. My only gripe is that it doesn't appear that they make a 3010 version to replace my noisy pcba fan. Buy this fan if you have an Ankermake M5C, seriously. Oh yeah, it's super quiet too!

Noctua is one of my go to fans for PC, so when I went to upgrade my 3D printer, I of course turned to them. I am sooo happy with my purchase. The fan was much quieter than the factory fan that came with it. The airflow and cooling that it offered was superior to the Creality fan. I did have to print a custom unit for the fan to fit, but this was to be expected.Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

This was a perfect drop in replacement to cool the Sovol SV08 motherboard. The original fan is very noisy and I can barely hear this fan. The entire upgrade added only five minutes to the printer assembly.The original SV08 motherboard fan is wired to 24V to run constantly. It's possible to move the connector to another header that is connected to an output and add a line to the Klipper config file so the motherboard fan only runs when needed to cool the MCU, and PID control adjusts the speed so it only runs fast enough to cool the MCU, but this Noctua fan is so quiet that I didn't bother with PID control. It runs full speed all the time and it's quiet. This is a very high reliability fan, so even running constantly, it'll outlive the 3D printer.I liked this quiet Noctua fan so well that I bought two 120 mm Noctua fans to add forced ventilation to an enclosure I'm designing and building for the SV08 3D printer.This Noctua fan probably cost me 20 times what Sovol spent for the little noise maker that they chose to cool the motherboard, but once you compare the two, you'll know where all of that extra money went.

This fan performs exactly as advertised. Keeps my parts cool, and is very very very quiet. Nice long cable,and plenty of accessories to get you connected. I would buy this again.

Runs quietly and efficiently. I was very impressed by the packaging and number of connectors and mounts it comes with.

My Creality Ender 3 V3 SE hot end fan started squealing really bad after 3 months of use so I ordered a replacement. From amazon pictures and listing it showed OEM fan but received generic and it was squealing out of the box tried again another seller same result so that was my motivation to finally upgrade my hotend. If upgrading a fan you can’t beat Noctua fans so thats what I ordered. The fan comes with everything you need except the plug to match hotend so I just cut the cord of the factory fan and using supplied scotchlok uy2 (don't strip the wire it goes on insulated wire best) to connect with included plug to wire adapter and printed a new housing and was ready. It’s amazing how quiet this fan is and still pushes so much air. Compared to factory you can”t even tell its on by sound and it moves at least triple the volume of air. This is probably the best beginner printer upgrade yo can do and see and hear the results, only toped by adding octoprintwith a raspberry Pi to printer and while easy to do the fan upgrade easier. All my fans in computer on noctua as well because they just make great fans.

Increible calidad y atencion al detalle, es NOCTUA.compré este ventilador para remplazar/modificar el que trae mi Ender3 V3 SE y despues de imprimir un adaptador el remplazo fue sin ningún problema ya que te incluyen todo tipo de cable que podrias necesitar y hasta CONECTORES PONCHABLES para que no tengas que usar un cautin ni nada por el estilo.sin mencionar que al ser NOCTUA es básicamente silencioso a comparación de la turbina de jet que trae por default esa máquina.

I recently upgraded my Ender 5 S1 3D printer by replacing the stock fan with the Noctua NF-A4x10 24V PWM 40mm Fan, and the improvement has been remarkable.✔️ What I Appreciate:Superior Quietness: The Noctua fan operates with minimal noise, significantly quieter than the original stock fan. This enhancement has made my printing environment much more pleasant.Efficient Cooling Performance: Despite its quiet operation, the fan provides excellent airflow, effectively maintaining optimal temperatures during extended printing sessions.High-Quality Build: The fan's construction is robust and durable, reflecting Noctua's reputation for premium quality components.PWM Control: The PWM feature allows for precise speed control, enabling the fan to adjust its performance based on the printer's cooling needs, which contributes to both efficiency and longevity.❌ Areas for Improvement:Installation Considerations: While the fan itself is top-notch, users should ensure compatibility with their specific printer model. In some cases, slight modifications or additional adapters may be necessary for installation.💡 Final Thoughts:The Noctua NF-A4x10 24V PWM 40mm Fan is an outstanding upgrade for the Ender 5 S1 3D printer. Its quiet operation, efficient cooling, and high-quality construction make it a worthwhile investment for those looking to enhance their 3D printing experience.✔ Best For: 3D printing enthusiasts seeking a quieter and more efficient cooling solution for their printers.❌ Not Ideal For: Users who prefer plug-and-play solutions without any need for modifications.👉 Overall: 5/5 – An excellent fan that delivers on performance and quietness, significantly improving the 3D printing environment.

Due to their 24V rating, these are advertised as a "silent" alternative to the stock fans of your 3D printer. And yes, they are silent but mostly because they move about half the air a stock fan does. I used these to replace the fans on my Ender 3 and the result was nothing but problems. It doesn't cool the heat sink of the hot end enough causing filament to bulge before it reaches the hot end. This results in under extrusion and extruder skipping because it needs a lot more force to push the filament through the hot end. Also, when changing filament, I had to take the extruder apart because due to the bulging of the filament, the filament got stuck in the lever of the extruder.So for now, I'm stuck with using the stock but very noisy fan until I find a proper "silent" replacement...

Ottimo prodotto,preso per sostituire una ventola simile su una stampante 3d ma fastidiosa per il rumore. Questa è silenziosissima.

Utiliser pour faire un Mod sur ma Bambu lab a1, peu de bruit, aspiration correcte. Beaucoup de petit connecteurs inclus.
