SV06 ACE Loud Print Fan

Sovol SV06 ACE

Hi, I’ve been wondering how to make my sv06 ace more silent, previously I had a ender 3 pro and with the quiet step motors it was very quiet, but with SV06 ACE I can’t even leave the print in the other room over night because it’s too loud to sleep, the main issue is the print fan, has anyone seen any drop in replacement for the default fan or a printer shroud for adapting another type/size fans?

I’m not sure if there’s something wrong with my fan since I’ve seen people complain about MCU and PSU fans which for me in comparison are dead silent.

I’d be grateful for any help, or a pointer where to find a 3d model of the extruder so I can try to model my own adapter.

Is the fan whining or just loud..??

I would say just loud, doesn’t sound like there’s anything wrong with it, I also mostly print PLA so the fan runs 100% all the time.

The ACE is loud, it’s the loudest printer I own.
There are a few posts here about it, but I don’t remember anyone doing anything to change it.

This is all I could could find, but it’s for the mainboard.

I designed a dual 50x15 fan setup for another forum user that vanished before I got it done.

In your case set max_power at .4 or so in printer.cfg. 3x the fans running at 40% should move enough air and be quieter.

The fan isn’t comparable to other component fans. It spins significantly faster than usual. Even with PLA, it only spins at 70-80% with the Orca settings. The nozzle might help a bit, but I don’t hear anything from the power supply fan or electronics fan during printing.

This is what I was hoping to find, thank you so much to you and everyone else that has contributed, I will let you know how it works after I get to it, lets hope my wife won’t complain about the printer in the living room anymore :smiley:
