Wanting to upgrade my fans under my extruder cover on my ender 3 v3 se, no idea where to start. I wanna imrpove bdriging and cooling and all i know is theres two fans under there. Im not sure which does what, and what models they are, and what i should upgrade to. I also want to fix the noise issue but im not sure which fan is creating this noise. Not sure whether to upgrade both or just one? Ive seen dual mounted shrouds and all that but no idea where to start / what to buy, 12v 24v, if i need a soldering kit, etc. Any help would be good.

AI Help

For upgrading the fans under your extruder cover on your Ender 3 V3 SE, you can start by identifying the two fans. One is usually the part cooling fan, which helps with cooling the filament as it is being extruded, and the other is the hotend fan, which cools down the heatsink of the hotend to prevent clogs.

If you want to improve bridging and cooling, you might consider getting high-quality fans with better airflow and static pressure ratings. Noctua is a popular brand known for their quiet and efficient fans. Make sure the fans you choose are the correct voltage for your printer (12V or 24V for the Ender 3 V3 SE).

To address the noise issue, you may need to determine which fan is causing the noise. You can try stopping one fan at a time while the printer is running to identify the noisy one. Once you've identified it, you can look into replacing that particular fan with a quieter model.

If you're interested in dual shrouds or upgraded fan mounts, there are various designs avail...

Upgrades
As with many other hobbies, with 3D printing it may often feel tempting to upgrade your equipment. Many people do so simply because they have heard of nicer components and wish to upgrade for the sake of upgrading.

With 3D printing more than most, it’s especially important to carefully consider the purpose of an upgrade and its potential consequences. Many of the common upgrades that owners perform have extremely limited benefits for the specific user or use case, and some can even be downright detrimental. An example of this would be a user upgrading to an all-metal hotend if they only print PLA and only intend to ever print PLA: PTFE-lined hotends tend to be more reliable for PLA printing than their all-metal counterparts. Many other situations exist where even if an upgrade has no detrimental effects, it also has negligible, if any, benefits – for example, upgrading to linear rails on a Prusa i3 MK3.

Furthermore, without sufficient knowledge or experience, any change a user makes to a printer can negatively affect its ease of use or its reliability. An upgrade to a 32-bit board may force the user to reconfigure and recompile a firmware from scratch, rather than use one of the existing configurations created by more experienced users. A change to the hotend and extruder configuration may call upon the user to design a new extruder carriage from scratch. None of these are insurmountable challenges given enough experience and knowledge, but new printer owners likely will not be at that level. Forcing them to perform these in-depth, technical procedures before they’re ready and with limited guidance could prove detrimental to the printer’s reliability and ease of use.

For these reasons it is strongly recommended that users do not upgrade their printers simply for the sake of upgrading their printers. Instead, upgrades should have a clear and definite purpose.

Use as is for a while, then do tuning + lots printing + then see.

Bridging should be pretty good on petg + pla, and it might just need a few settings to improve it.
