Your FIRST video?? Better than 90% of YouTube!

13 wardrobe changes 😀 I love it. Great job and good fan selection. People get so hung up on noctua but these are the right fans for the job!

"My girlfriend doesn't complain

...about the printer."

Legit got a lol out of me, great video!

[richiebricker]

Very cool, Its alot quieter. I think that sound app is more sensitive at lower frequencies, but lower frequencies are always alot easier on the ears, so great job, Id love to try this one. Didnt expect a fashion show at the end but good choice in clothing as well

[czaczaja]

So stock fan is at 57dB and the 'silent mod' brings it up to 60dB lol Brilliant!

[PWNHUB]

It is louder for sure, but it's a lower pitch so it's less annoying.

[TheDropYouNeed]

I like how your tshirts change after every cut XD haha that got me +sub +like

[kevinhart]

Thanks for the video, it was really well done!. Exactly what I needed to see before I buy the fans for my Ender. I really appreciate how you edited this - its a quick pace, but not too quick. And hey - we can always hit pause! So many other people making these videos go so SLOOOOWLY. Hope to see more from you.

You should make more 3D printing related videos, you’re more interesting than most of the 3D printing channels imo

Guy is a good comedian, jokes made me chuckle. Lots of shirt changes and a coat. Was trying to understand if that’s a joke.

But good job on the first video. Yes nutica would are better, but the point he was trying to show is without buck converters.

[NoobDude]

You should make more videos. I enjoyed this guide.

11k views in 3 weeks! That’s amazing for a channel with 140 subscribers. Keep up the great work!

Good job on the tutorial. I ordered the fans that you suggested. Surprisingly, my PSU fan is 24V, not 12V like yours. So, I'll have to do that one another day. I have an Ender 3 V2 Neo. My P/S looks exactly like your, but it's a different fan voltage.

[billsmith]

I followed your steps and replaced all my fans with the same ones and put a Briss Fang on my hot end as well! I also used silicone gaskets for the connections of the fans, and I think I've got the noise down to about half of what it was on my Voxelab Aquila. Thanks for this video, it told me all I needed to know!

[juliank]

great guide! as someone who is new to the 3d printer world i struggled quite a bit following other (written) guides that did not really explain how and where to open the 3d printer and how to install the fans correctly. also i like the fact, that you included all the details on the fans used and didnt use noctua fans (which are excellent for other use cases).
i really wish i had found this video earlier, could have saved me so many hours of researching!

[cosmefulanito]

Android phones limit extreme noise when recording video. So as quiet as it sounds, it probably isn't. Reading your application is more accurate and shows that you aggravated the problem. The noise is in fact, more big now.

[NathanCroucher]

This is the second time ive watched this. First time i didn't even realize the comedy. Well done!!

[RobertKreese]

Took me 5 minutes to relaise that you where from Sweden! Great video - assembling my first 3D printer this weekend and this mod is probably the most neccesary one to make to the printer.

[noobsalsowinsometimes]

This really works great. I used 3 Sunon fans in the dimensions as in the video desctiption. My PSU was a 12V fan, so double check before you order. It is very quiet now. A bit louder than my PC, but by far not as loud as the hairdryer it used to be. Very nice mod and great video!

[redwire]

I love how the you change tshirts every cut 👍😂
