This mod has only been tested on the Mars original (not with the Mars 2/Mars 2 Pro)
Go from 50dB to 40dB or less with this mod!
Ideal for longer or overnight prints, especially if you require your machine to be quieter...!
The Elegoo Mars (stock machine) typically produces around 50dB in noise level while printing - which may be ok during the day, but in my case, an issue at night;
This modification allows to significantly reduce the noise level while retaining active cooling functionality - after installing this adapter and a 120mm fan (I'm using Arctic P12 fans);
Additional parts:
- 4x 15mm spacers
- M3 screws (fan duct + fan assembly)
Optional parts:
- potentiometer
How to proceed:
Extras:
The Mars doesn't have fan speed control, the fan is either on or off; A potentiometer may be added in order to manually control the fan speed and with it, the noise level to reduce it even further - this is how I have it installed.
Additional feet extensions are included, in order to raise the machine once the mod is in place.
And that's it!
Used FDM to print this parts - 0.3mm with 40% infill - all parts should print fine without supports, but it could use some support towers on the inside towards the holes
