Topic: extruder Fan replacement

My extruder Fan busted its blades

Anyhow I don't wish to mess with the wires etc if a simple plug in replacement turns into a complete rewire job.

Anyone have a pic of the wires of the fan to the power source?

Note: I also printed out the replacement fan blades for when time allows for repairs.

Maybe someone at SD factory can take a few pics and post em?

Re: extruder Fan replacement

I replaced the jet engine on mine with something quieter.   I just tugged on the wire to find where it came out of the bundle, and then put a connector on it.  That way if I need to replace the fan again, or wanted to take the whole extruder out, I could just unplug it without going all the way back to the electronics.
