So It seems like the original 5015 part cooling fan was this,
But now it seems to be this one in the X1C/X1E/P1S, and maybe all newer printers.
Which one is better?
Has anyone tested them, RPM, CFM, mmH2O?
My 0.15amp seems to be around 9500RPM but that’s all I can say.
Is the 0.22amp newer one just different, an improvement, or a cheaper downgrade?
If I order a new toolhead cover, which fan will come with it?
Yes a toolhead cover will come with one.
I can’t answer your other questions but if you decide to dyi you’ll have to splice the connector onto the new fan.
If I were a betting man, I’d look for a replacement that matches specs of the original.
Or just drop the $19 for a new cover.
So I ordered another toohead cover, it came with the 0.22amp Snowfan, I compared the two fans with these instruments (+ a cellphone dB app, held at the door of the printer) here’s the results, maybe 7 percent better, and 8dB quieter.
Since I’m looking for better part cooling and thought this was an interesting topic, I… got nerd sniped and now I want a great part cooling fan…
However I’m confused by, what I suspect is mostly false marketing or for other reasons, huge differences:
Is there a typo in the nevermore? Or can the differences be this huge? And or is CFM not the best metric to assume cooling capabilities?
Could be the way they calculated the CFM might be different. (I wouldn’t swear my testing to be exactly correct, but I feel the general percent comparison of the two Bambu fans is mostly accurate)
Fabreeko’s numbers are the same as the 3DO ones, Honeybadgers
I’m guessing they would be very similar in perfomance, given the similar amps and pressure numbers.
For cooling, my understanding is that we need to transfer heat from ‘hot thing’ to air molecules, so more CFM should gererally mean more cooling up until something else in the system is the limiting factor, like innefficient heat transfer from the thing to the air, no matter how much air passes over it.
I think they are rated at 5.36 CFM, which is the value i find the most, if that’s any indicator. Harder to get in Europe though.
In regards to the Snowfan;
Another fan worth considering:
Hi! What you think about sunon MF50151VX-C03C-S99?
Can 4pin (From fan) solder to standart integrated terminal?
You can definitely solder a Bambu connector on to it but two things to keep in mind. 1. The Bambu fan is 24v and the Sunon is 12v and 2. The Bambu fan has the double wide mouth that connects to the duct, the Sunon does not. You can print a new duct from MW to make up for the mouth, but you really need a 24v fan.
Ask about sunon because original part i can buy only in other country and wait about two week. Sunon i can buy aftertomorow) May be some one can send other model 5015 which we can use.
And can we use 5015 fan with 2 pin?
Oh, yes the 24v would work. Here’s what I mean about the mouth. Here’s the Bambu fan:
But you can print a shroud from Makerworld that uses the smaller mouth.
You can use a 4 wire fan with just a two wire connector but I think it will always run at full speed. But the Sunon looks to be 4 wire and the Bambu is 4 wire. You would just need to solder the Bambu connector on.
Here’s a shroud that fits a normal size 5015 mouth…
A big thank you for your help!!!
