Fan noisy when turns on
Hey all,
I have have an MK3 built from a kit, and I noticed recently the print cooling fan making quite a bit of noise when it initial turns on after the first later. After running for a tiny bit of time, it quiets down. Is this normal?
Thanks!
Re: Fan noisy when turns on
Happens on my MK2 on the part cooling fan sometimes as-well. No worries, after couple of seconds it goes away once the rotating parts are lubricated again.

I believe these are plain bearing fans,
I have re lubricated the bearing on my mk2, but eventually replaced it with a ball bearing fan instead.
Mk3 is running fine at the moment... may get a ball bearing fan in stock, for when it fails.

Thanks for the replies!
What type of lubricant is necessary, and what's the steps to lubricate the fan?
