Voxelab Proxima 6.0 Fan Spacer

thingiverse

This is a simple spacer that extends the metal bar on this printer, to give more space underneath. It allows you to replace the standard 80mm slim fan with a normal 80mm (25mm thick) fan. The standard fan is very noisy and seems overkill as the heatsink does not get very warm in my experience. With this mod I have replaced it with a 80mm BeQuiet fan and it has made the machine a lot quieter, with no issues for me. You will need 4 x M3x20 as the standard bolts will be too short. Note you can reattach the metal covers after installing this as none of the mounting points are effected, but there will be a very small gap visible now between at the top of the metal covers. On my printer I have also replaced the stepper driver with a TMC2209 that made a huge difference to the noise also, video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFECrurH-_M
