Description

This is the Version for the Bear Extruder. If you have a stock MK3S/+ extruder follow this link: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/63279

Revised version is coming soon!

But first of all, why two fans?
- You have better access to the nozzle
- The cooling is improved
- Significantly quieter, as the fan speed can be significantly reduced

I print PLA with 20-25% fan speed and PETG with 10%. This makes the fans very quiet. So make sure to adjust the fan speeds in the slicer.

This is a Remix from this Print: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3391241
I have adapted the model to the current (as of April 2021) Bear extruder (standard V6 hotend).

Both fans should be of the same type.
To connect the second fan, the black and red cables of the two fans have to be joined. The yellow cable (speed signal) is only required by one fan.
It is best to connect the cables at the point as shown in the picture or in the Einsy case.
