I have 2 X1Es and on one of them the extruder fan seems to die relatively quickly. After one print it makes that awful humming noise and will last for a few hundred hours. Im on fan #3 and the printer is only at 500hrs of print time. Any ideas why the printer would be killing the extruder fans? it dosent spin freely when the fan dies and feels like a bearing is going out. Any Ideas? The other printer has been a champ and is around 1500hrs without an issue.

English pleaseš what are you two talking about?
I am guessing here, but I think they are suggesting that the chamber temp has been too high and is effecting the internal electronics in a bad way.
No idea why they are counting upā¦ 27ā¦27ā¦27ā¦ (?)
maybe but considering I print pretty much the same file on both printers it doesnāt explain why one printer has the fan fail and the other hasnāt had an issue. I did notice the old fan was rated for .3A and the new one I ordered was rated for .4A so well see if it makes a difference I guess
Apologies. The 25ā¦ stuff was just me getting to the 25 character minimum.
What I was asking was if the printer was running with a high chamber temperature since that can shorten the life of fans that are running in that. Sometimes with multiple printers, people will configure different printers different ways where maybe one is running with a fairly hot chamber and the other is doing low temp stuff. So was just asking in case it was something like that.
Or they could just be inexpensive fans with occasional lemons.

After awhile you see the same names in every thread you go to. You eventually āget to knowā names as best you can and sometimes goofy stuff comes from it.
I knew MZip was trying to hit the min character count by counting. I did too, but counted one higher. Essentially agreeing.
Figured everyone would just ignore itā¦guess not.
