extruder fan

[Vic]

The extruder cooling fan on my Orion is noisy. It started out a little noisy but it has progressed over time. Not a huge issue but it is bothersome if I am working near it. Is this normal for this fan?

I am contemplating swapping it out and using it as a backup. If all the fans are this way then I don't want to bother with it.

Thanks

You can replace it, but leaving it out entirely will just lead to PLA jams on your side and snarky commentary on ours.

Ha ha. Thanks!
