Buddyboard Fan
Hi,
Has anyone figured out how to mod the buddy board to add a cooling fan to cool the buddy board?
I'm thinking it would be good to add a 40mm 5V fan to the buddy board case to help cool the parts for very long prints, but i'm not sure if its best to drive such a fan off a 5V on the buddyboard somewhere, or add another 5V reg (probably a Recom potted jobby) and drive it off that.
Suggestions and recommendations strongly appreciated.
Cheers
RE: Buddyboard Fan
This guy had an idea of how you can mount one.

That looks good
That is perfect, Thanks @abacabie 😀
RE: Buddyboard Fan
I was thinking about the same but then found this official statement :
"The Buddy board is designed and built to sustain considerable heat. It does not need any cooling even if the printer is in an enclosure."
