Hotend Fan Upgrade...

My hotend fan has been as loud as a train from day 1.

I just printed out the DeltaPDuct mod and was thinking that I might as well replace the hotend fan at the same time.

It seems to take a 5V 3-wire 5015 (50x50x15) fan.

What is the "best" fan to use? whether "quietest"? most "effective"? longest "life"? etc...

  • Should I go with Prusa? (though shipping is expensive)
  • Should I go with the FYSETC or other similar knock-offs offered for reasonable price on Amazon or even Aliexpress?
  • Should I buy a "premium" fan? Noctura? If so what part numberr?
  • Or does it not make a big difference and just go by price/availability?

I don't mind messing with the wiring... indeed, I was consider reusing the old wiring and adding a 3-pin JST connector closer to the fan so I don't need to wire back to the Einsy enclosure every time I need to change the fan...
