to correct 8:05 - the noise decrease is not 50%, since decibels are a logarithmic scale. Therefore, going from ~60dB to ~30dB is a 1000x decrease in perceived noise levels.

Noctua makes 24v versions of the smaller fan now

Stock fans can be powered from 12 to 24v. I didn't buy any particular fan and used the stock one with dc dc step down mini bucks.
I've the Ender 3 V2 Neo, and now it's silent without any particular mods, simply I've used Mini 360 bucks on the stock PSU and mainboard fans that I've choosen from 12-15v till obtain low noise and still good airflow. And opened with a cupsaw the power supply cover to have more air flow.
On the hot end I've used a Sunon MF40202V2-1000C-A99 DC 24V 0.68W 40x40x20mm declared for 21 db and built a custom support. I don't need any other special mods, now my Ender 3 print's well and has very low noise.

Caution!! Make sure to ser the buck converter output voltage to 12v before you attach the fans.

TUTORIAL FOR DEEPER UNDERSTANDING AND ENDER 3 V2 NEO

First off I realized with the Neo, that the power supply is a little bit more complicated and I couldn’t find a good video, but all you do is take off the top four screws above the power supply, and it should drop out and from there you take the covers off of it. I didn’t have to take any screws off the bottom except for the one screw that holds the cover on the bottom, the rest of the screws for the PSU cover are on the sides and one hides under a sticker.

Next, he says in the video that the power supply fan is 12 V already but it is not. It is 24 V so you’ll need a converter. For that one as well making it a total of four.

If you buy the PWM fans that he linked which are the ones I bought all you do is cut off the end and use the yellow as positive and the black is negative, leaving the green and blue to the side as they do not need to be used.

Another thing, for the Neo use the Neo Thang fan duct that is on Thingiverse for free.

Other than those few tweaks this works perfect for me only other modification I had to do was I printed my own spacers, extending them another quarter inch as the power supply fan was literally touching the ground suctioning itself against the floor instead of pulling air

I like your style! The volume difference is amazing. Wouldn’t be hard to sleep near that.

I should point out that another point of safety with the buck converters is to use ferrule crimps on the wires for the screw terminals on the buck converters. I've converted all my loose wire ends to ferrules where they would interface with a screw terminal. Much more secure, efficient, an less prone to shorting or causing a fire.

This is literally exactly what I needed. I've been wanting to do this upgrade for a while but since I don't do much sautering I was afraid I would break the printer since every video says you need to sauter the wires to the fan and the buck converter. Thanks a lot this was very helpful!

You could use smaller converters as the seven segment dispalys are not needed. Great video 👍

arbymohamed

Just so everyone knows, you can route all three through one converter, as long as it supports the combined amps of all three fans

Just completed my upgrade. All noctua fans. Thanks for the easy guide! Worth noting that my PSU fan was wired backwards from the factory. Had to cross my wires to get it working. Absolutely worth it, even if it's a little jankier than the default setup.

If you use a CR-touch make sure to be careful with the z axis. If the probe isn't low enough, you'll jam the nozzle into the bed like I did. If it's too low you'll drag the probe when trying to print. Just be cautious.

Oh, and if you got the 4 pin fans like I did, reminder that black = ground, yellow = +12V. Green/blue don't get used, so you can clip them off. I used the extender things from the box to cut, so the fans are in perfect condition still.

I appreciate that the thumbnail for this video isnt you making the hush motion 🤫

This video was incredibly done. You did a amazing job.

Hi I just try to do this mod but something did go wrong. I successfully plugged in the buck converters and checked for shorts. All looked ok so I turned on the printer. Only one fan started spinning and I was able to set the buck converter. The other two fans (hotend and motherboard) did not spin and when I tried to measure the output voltage from motherboard there was 0. Can you help? I hope I explained it well.
Edit:
I sucessfully make it work. The problem was that the fans are not running always and if you turn on the printer the 2 out of the 3 buck converters dont turn on. you have to set the buck convertors on the hot end fan wires which are always running, then reconnect them to the other fans. then it will work. This was not mentionet in the video. Everything else works just fine.
