@zapta I'm running all Duet hardware. Duet 2 Wifi, and a smart effector. I ditched the stock electronics before I assembled the printer. The printer frame, PSU, and heated bed is about all that was worth keeping from the original kit.

I've got a 50mm axial fan, which seems to work somewhat with PWM and isn't annoyingly loud. It's mostly just the blowers that area a headache.

I've been planning on getting a second smart effector for use with a Volcano nozzle once Spool3d starts carrying the v3, so having to get 6 fans with 24v and PWM is a bit problematic if I can't be sure they'll work. It seems like the buck convertor might be the best option, which is frankly kind of surprising.

A Berd-Air also looks like it might be a good option. It should be fairly easy to switch between smart effectors and they appears to have a 24V PWM model. It sounds like it might be a little on the noisy end without an enclosure though. Anyone have any opinions on those? The shipping isn't cheap on them, but they look like they provide decent adjustability and low effector mass.

Does anyone have a line on some decent 24V PWM controlled fans that ship to Canada? I'm having a hard time finding ones that work with PWM and are 24V.

I'm looking for a 50mm axial fan and 2x 4010 blowers. My stock Tevo fans died, and seem to be difficult to replace directly without spending $80.

As with most issues that take a while to fix, it was a combination problem. The solid core cable was part of the issue. The other part was that the sensitivity on the smart effector was too low. I set it up to 225.

Hello Everyone,

I'm having a hard time getting a consistent connection out of the Smart Effector. I seem to get about half of my bed to probe before one of the connectors wiggles loose, causing the effector to crash into the bed until the belt skips. Usually this happens a few times, and then the 6-blink pattern shows up once on the LED.

I'm pretty sure this means that my 8-pin molex connector isn't in good contact. The white LEDs stay on consistently, and I don't seem to have other issues with power, so I think the 6-pin one is fine.

Has anyone got a source for pre-made 8-pin molex connectors with a decent length pigtail? I've seen the ones posted for the 6-pin, but not the 8-pin molex kk. I could probably get it working with a bit more rework, but would rather just buy a premade wire at this point.

I've seen these, but the pigtail is pretty short. https://www.pcboard.ca/kf2510-prewired-connector

I think the source of the issue might be that I'm using solid core Cat 6 cable, which is a bit stiff, and seems to exert some torque on the connector.

I'm in Canada, if anyone knows a source around here.

@dc42 Any idea when this one will be available in Canada? It looks like I might need a replacement. I think may have scratch the strain gauge traces on my V2.

I'd much rather buy a V3 if they're improving upon that issue.
