Anycubic i3 Mega Silent Parts Cooling Fan Bracket by icecap

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

If you changed to Trinamic 2208 stepper motor driver and replaced the all noisy fans of Anycubic i3 Mega, only thing you can hear is the blower fan noise because nobody makes a quiet blower.
This upgrade will enable you to replace it with a silent Noctua or Ainex 40x10mm axial fan and cut down the noise to "zero" and makes your printer "ultra silent".
Included duct is a short design, so the axial fan works perfectly.
Hotend must be rotated 45 degree to clear the electrical wires.
Only parts-fan-bracket must be printed with a support enabled.

Note:
To install a 20mm tall fan instead of a 10mm fan, the space for the wiring becomes tight. In that case, change the hotend connector to the "90 degree type", available at
