I have a dumb question....(you see if I preface with that, you guys all smile!)

The wiring from the fan...should I replace that with some shielded/twisted wire instead of the stranded wire that is in there?

Just trying to solve the PWM noise issue!

Umm. There's only one posible orientation if the hotend it's on the front right. The top left/right 3point reference marks where it goes the hotend. So, how can it be installed otherway? Edit: There's also rotating view of the fancap assembled. Well just ideas...if you want to leave it be, that's u...

Well let's see if we can make what we have work first. We've got a lot of hours into this and I'd hate to give up so soon Also, if you want to make some changes on your shroud document on Ultimaker...I would suggest more side pictures that detail to order of assembly. The animated one shows from a h...

Neo....I know you love to experiment.... ...But I am desperately way behind in printing my BB-8 project. I have spent so much time chasing down problems (heated bed upgrade with complications, belt/pulley issues, etc) that I have little to show for progress. Honestly, if I were to invest any more mo...

Follow up questions...

Is there anything I can wrap around the two power leads to reduce PWM noise? Anything I could find locally that isn't too exotic?

Should I be looking for less powerful fans (CFM) ?

I haven't dared use Cura 2.1.1
I'm having enough troubleshooting issues with the printer itself

Well my second try at the top pieces for the shroud mount came out lousy in CF. I cooked the printer to 150 and tried to gently slide it out of the print head. I heard a snap...the filament snapped in the teflon. Ah fun I put the nGen in and heated to 230. Thankfully the CF started to ooze out and t...

No, I should just stop listening to Neo's ideas :) First, I DO NOT HAVE A UMO+. I have an Ultimaker Original :) Second, the wires are wrapped in the plastic wrap where the other wiring is. If that's causing some feedback, I'll find a way to make sure those wires aren't near one another and remove th...

What a night So...fans in! image.jpeg So I tried the robot test print. Well the minute the fans go on, it goes to max (255). I tried to reel it down via Ulticontroller down to 10. Then the Ulticontroller beeps sound different, the print head temp bounces everywhere and then I get this... image.jpeg ...

So in comparing the two shrouds...somehow one is vertical near the print head, one isn't. Same file on both prints. My first attempt lines up!

Well better than CF but room for improvement

Well the fan is off and nGen is loaded up. This stuff flows really really nice.

To counter the No Fan technicality....I am printing both parts at once. I'm hoping that's enough layer time between each piece!

Well the wiring has gone well. Tried to re-print the top pieces and again got a lousy print.

Removing the XT-CF20 and doing an Atomic pull in a moment....nGen is going in! Adjusting the Cura settings now

If developed, i wonder if this would replace windows someday?

I didn't see a link either

Also noticed large gap from your post (seems big for a small post)
