Hello,

3D printers are only there to print things for daily life, but of course also to improve the printer itself with it.

I've been working on my printer for 2 months, testing, ordering and returning parts, printing things with different types of filament based on heat resistance needs, etc.

In the end, the result was very acceptable for me, which looks good and also means that my prints now look better than before.
And very important: The printer is now whisper quiet 🙂

I did the whole project here on reddit if anyone is interested:

Awesome work on the silent fan upgrade! It's so satisfying when a printer becomes whisper quiet.

Now that the fans are silent, have you ever noticed a faint "popping" sound from the nozzle while printing? That's usually moisture in the filament.

A filament dryer was my next game-changing upgrade. It stops that noise and dramatically improves print quality by keeping materials like PETG perfectly dry.

Just a thought for your next project on the path to the perfect printer! Great job again.
