Fans

Good cooling is an important part of a 3D printer's operation and print quality. When air circulates properly, prints stay clean and parts don't warp or melt excessively.

Our range includes 3D printer fans for various applications. We offer 5015 fans as well as 4010 and 4020 fans, available in 5V, 12V and 24V voltages. The fans are suitable for many printer models, such as Creality, Bambu Lab, Prusa and Anycubic.

The right fan keeps the printer's operating temperature stable and helps prevent overheating and printing errors.

This collection features a selection of fans that are suitable for both hotend cooling and print cooling. The 5015 fans produce a directed and powerful airflow that quickly cools newly printed plastic and prevents deformation. The 4010 and 4020 fans keep the hotend cool and ensure that the filament does not melt prematurely in the heatbreak, causing blockages.

The fans are available in multiple voltage options to suit a variety of printers and projects, and are compatible with a number of common models including Creality Ender, Prusa, Bambu Lab, Artillery, and Anycubic.

The same fans are used to cool Raspberry Pi, power supplies, or electronics enclosures, among other things.

When cooling is good, the printer runs smoothly and print quality improves, reducing errors and extending the life of the device.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which fan is right for my printer?

The right fan depends on the printer model and its intended use. Most Creality, Prusa and Bambu Lab printers use 24V fans, while devices such as the Raspberry Pi operate at 5V.

What is the difference between a 5015 blower fan and a 4010 fan?

The numbers in the fan name indicate the fan's dimensions in millimeters. For example, 5015 means 50 x 50 x 15 mm. There are two types of fans: blower fans and axial fans. The blower type directs air in a narrow stream in one direction and is therefore well suited for cooling the print. An axial fan blows air straight forward. Axial fans are usually used in 3D printers to cool the cooler and electronics.

When should the fan be replaced?

The life expectancy of fans as stated by manufacturers is usually a few tens of thousands of hours. However, in 3D printers, fans are exposed to high temperatures and vibrations in the chamber, which shortens their lifespan. The fan should be replaced if it starts to make excessive noise, spins unevenly, or no longer spins properly. Ball bearing fans usually last longer than plain bearing models.
