A Real Cool Upgrade to Improve your 3D Printing...

Do you drive everywhere in 3rd gear?

LOL! I totally get what you're saying, but in my experience the ROI on shifting gears when driving is exponentially higher / beneficial than the benefit I get testing / switching temps for filament.

A closer ROI analogy for me would be "Do you use the same fork for salad and steak"

yes... yes I do.

Just a little tweak can make all the difference Try buttering a piece of bread and then eating it with the buttered side down - very weird experience

HAHA! Truth!

ry buttering a piece of bread and then eating it with the buttered side down

You mean like the Australians?

My Grandfather had a huge moustache and eat his bread and butter/jam upside down

LOL! Ya @The Hat !!!

I was searching Google for "3d printer cfm or pressure"

... and this happened:

Wow that’s interesting, why would Printerknowledge come up first for that particular search of “3d printer cfm or pressure”, because if you use “3d printing cfm or pressure" this comes up first and not second.. www.reddit.com › 3Dprinting › comments › min...

Nifty must be doing something right to get that great response..

Generally, yes, you need a bigger fan to push the same amount of air and be quieter. You can improve the noise factor using things like rubber or silicone fasteners instead of metal screws to attach the fan. Enclosing the fan, or the printer itself, will dampen perceived noise.

The static pressure of the air pushed is a different dynamic than fan noise, or, CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute) air pushed. The higher the pressure (static pressure) of the moving air the better that air can move around or through obstacles like over hard drives in from of the fan or through the radiator of a water cooled CPU system of through a filter. High CFM fans can move a lo of air but not through or around obstacles as well as high static pressure fans.

I don't know the air flow route of the Fang, but it may be advantageous to use a high static pressure fan with the Fang, rather than a high CFM fan, if the Fang requires air to move through or around an obstacle, including twists and turns along the route.

Because @The Hat loves videos, here you go.

Google found the Keyword "CFM" in Stratman's post and associated it with the Forum category "3D printers"

Now for something different... google the word "askew" and see what happens

And then what ?...
