extruder fan

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

Vic

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