Sourcing Replacement/Additional Fans

Post by G-Force »

Just wondering if theres a specific name for the type of fans / pin connectors used on the Geeetech I3x?

I can see the existing fans have the black ground cable in the center of the 3 cables and the alignment pin is also centered. When browsing eBay for new 40mm fans they all have the black ground on the outside and the connector allignment pins are on both sides.

Can anyone help me find a place to get the correct fans (with availability to get them to Australia cheaply?)

the fan for your printer is here:

I think the one you said is ok, just need to use some dupont cables to connect the + and - to the board and it will be ok.
But note that the total current for all the 4 fans on your board can not be larger than 1amps, or the chip might be burned out.
