Additional Layer Fan Question

Post by enchantedsord »

Hi all,

I'm running some overhand tests and finding the side I have my layer fan on is curling way less. So my thought is to try the 360 degree shroud here http://repables.com/r/436/ or I'm thinking about adding 1-2 more fans. I guess the question I have isn't so much how to print the shrouds but what would the best way to wire it be? would I have to run new wire (Yuck!) or could I wire them some other way?

I don't want to blow any electronics so the any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks!

The layer fan or fans are normally connected to the fan0 output on the Rambo.
If you have one that already exists you can add more by putting them in parallel to the first fan, tie reds to red and blacks to black.
These small fans usually use approximately .15 amps so paralleling 3 of them represents about .5 amps.
For more on layer fans see the following links:
