Does the noise that your 3D printer makes bother you when you are printing your designs? If you're like most, you're probably looking for a way to silence her. In this article, I am going to show you the best ways to silence a 3D printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change motherboard:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to silence a 3D printer is by changing the motherboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have an Ender 3, Ender 3 PRO, Ender 5 PRO for example, you can go for the TCM 2225 silent motherboard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This motherboard uses silent stepper motor drivers and can significantly reduce noise from your 3D printer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, this update can also improve the quality of your prints, since the TCM2225 motherboard can provide better precision in the movements of the printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here below is the link to Amazon for TMC2225 Driver Board for Ender-3 \/ Ender-3 Pro\/Ender 3 V2\/Ender 5 \/Ender 5 Pro<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Change fans:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    3D printer fans are another major source of noise. Therefore, changing them can be a good solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Noctua fans<\/strong> they are an excellent choice as they are quieter than standard fans. Plus, you can install Noctua fans with custom adapters to fit your printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I'll leave you the link to the Noctua fans in case you want to check them out on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Making these changes requires some knowledge, as the noctua fans are 12V while the Ender 3 originals are 24V.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Therefore you should be very careful if you decide to change them. Look for videos on youtube to inform you well before.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
