Wiring / Extra Fan power supply + Cable extension
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:36 am
HI,
i have been building a Geeetech Pro B and its looking good, this is my second printer (started with a Monoprice Mini) and understand the importance of cooling.
In that spirit, i wanted to add 2 fans to my build >
1x to cool the electronic board
1x to cool the filament
So i am heading to ebay / Amazon to order son 12v 40mm Fan 2pins, but they all have short cables and there's only 1 extra power supply for a 3rd Fan, what about the 4th one ?
I guess i am looking for help on how to power supply these fans ? Should i order 2pin extension cables (i have a hard time finding these), use a Y splitter ? Should i solder these cables ? Please provide some examples of your wiring / power setup for extra fans
Feel free to provide ebay / amz links to buy the products you recommend.
