  • Old one I’ve told before, not moving to a fixed hotend as soon as possible (v6 style hotends the mk3s uses for example, really easy to mess up) have absolutely accidentally loosed the block during a nozzle change, petg was leaking out of the top super slowly, only realised the issue once the blob started pushing the sock off.

    Kept that hotend around for a while as a display piece, was a total write off. That also was the event that made me start keeping spares on hand, why I have my printers more or less part compatible for consumables (always keep a few extra heaters and rtds/thermistors around, do also have at least one extra hotend around).


  • I’ve seen This fan (ldo DF5015H05S) mentioned as a replacement, 4.4 cfm @5000 rpm, supposedly faster than the stock fan. Found a Post on the prusa forum also suggesting good results from a fystec fan, this links to an aliexpress page but have seen on eBay and Amazon.

    First link is to kb-3d which I’ve have good experience with in the past for some mods.

    Edit: I did swap my mk3s+ to an skr mini before modding the heck out of it, that is an option if you’re willing to put some time in and aren’t concerned with keeping totally stock. That’ll let you use 12v and 24v fans too which open up a lot of options, but it will see you having to recrimp some connectors so not super straightforward to flip back and you’ll lose the prusa specific cuatomizations. I tried to recreate some as klipper macros and had found a repo outlining the same, I’ll see if I can find the last config I used (current machine is a Frankenstein, different board and setup entirely) just so it’s available if anyone else wants it.
