Extruder fan?

What is this fan called? I had a stuck filament and had to take the tool head apart. I think i may have damaged one of the wires or connectors going to the cover, as this fan does not seem to be active now. Is there a way I can manually turn this fan on to see if it is working? How wouldi replace this fan? TIA.

I don’t think Bambu sells a fan separately.
The replacement assembly called “Front Housing Assembly - P1 Series”

Inside the device window in Bambu Studio, you can activate the part fan in this little box:

EDIT: It’s called the part fan or part cooling fan :slight_smile:

Thanks guys for the prompt responses! This forum is such a great resource. I ordered a new front housing assembly. Will I do damage to my printer if I keep printing before the part fan is replaced?

No guarantees but I would hightly doubt you could damage your printer. However, the part cooling is pretty essential for print quality so don’t be suprised if things start looking real ugly haha

You wouldn’t damage the printer, but check with material cooling. Some of them rely heavily on a part cooling fan.
