Quiet Please! Reducing 3D Printer Noise with DIY Mods

Tired of the deafening roar of your 3D printer? In this video, we take on the challenge of silencing the Creality K1 side fan, one of the loudest printers in our workshop. Resonance chambers, sound insulating foam and anti-vibration methods, we explore various techniques to reduce the noise without compromising performance. We learned a lot and we're going to develop this further. You can see our experimental designs that you can download and mod yourself for other printers on our printables page here: https://www.printables.com/model/9255... More updates will come as we improve the designs. And you can also check out the Boston University article here: https://www.bu.edu/articles/2019/maki... Happy with your purchase?
