Noctua NF-A4x10 24V PWM, 40mm Quiet Fan for 3D printers and other Applications, 4-Pin, 24V Version (40x10mm, Brown)

I recently upgraded my Ender 5 S1 3D printer by replacing the stock fan with the Noctua NF-A4x10 24V PWM 40mm Fan, and the improvement has been remarkable. ✔️ What I Appreciate: Superior Quietness: The Noctua fan operates with minimal noise, significantly quieter than the original stock fan. This enhancement has made my printing environment much more pleasant. Efficient Cooling Performance: Despite its quiet operation, the fan provides excellent airflow, effectively maintaining optimal temperatures during extended printing sessions. High-Quality Build: The fan's construction is robust and durable, reflecting Noctua's reputation for premium quality components. PWM Control: The PWM feature allows for precise speed control, enabling the fan to adjust its performance based on the printer's cooling needs, which contributes to both efficiency and longevity. ❌ Areas for Improvement: Installation Considerations: While the fan itself is top-notch, users should ensure compatibility with their specific printer model. In some cases, slight modifications or additional adapters may be necessary for installation. 💡 Final Thoughts: The Noctua NF-A4x10 24V PWM 40mm Fan is an outstanding upgrade for the Ender 5 S1 3D printer. Its quiet operation, efficient cooling, and high-quality construction make it a worthwhile investment for those looking to enhance their 3D printing experience. ✔ Best For: 3D printing enthusiasts seeking a quieter and more efficient cooling solution for their printers. ❌ Not Ideal For: Users who prefer plug-and-play solutions without any need for modifications. 👉 Overall: 5/5 – An excellent fan that delivers on performance and quietness, significantly improving the 3D printing environment.

There is something about Notcua fans that scream quality to me. This one is going in my Ender 3 as a hotend cooling fan, as I'm not sure if the existing one is working right or not. Although I'm not using the PWM, or Tacho Signals at the moment, there is room to be able to add something into the mix to allow me to see what the fans RPM is, or even to control the speed - though I'm unlikely to run at anything short of 100%. Actually, I love that the fan is extremely quiet at full speed.

Installed on a Creality Ender-2 Pro. Like-for-like swap and super easy to install with the included OmniJoin adapters. I didn't use the included low noise adaper as it's already quieter than the stock fan.

Bought to replace the stock fan in a filament dryer. Together with a 3D printed adapter it works well and the noise is reduced to a more bearable level especially if misophonia is a an issue.

bought to replace the hotend and mainboard fans in my ender 3. after doing so (although the PWM goes to complete waste here), it runs way quieter, near silent (at full speed!) and the airflow is great. very very happy. the included accessory package is very premium compared to most fans, the anti vibration pads are nice, the build quality is clearly good.

purchased this Noctua NF-A4x10, and I am extremely satisfied with its performance. The fan operates quietly while delivering impressive airflow, making it perfect for my enclosed project. The PWM control allows for efficient speed adjustments, keeping noise levels down during low-demand periods. Installation was straightforward, and the build quality feels top-notch, typical of Noctua products. If you're looking for a reliable, quiet fan for tight spaces, I highly recommend this one!

Not as quiet as I expected it to be

Beautiful colour scheme. Cooling performance is fantastic, especially since it's so quiet. Used these in my 3d printer to make it quieter and works fantastically. Always a pleasure using Noctua (when it doesn't break the bank lol)

Increible calidad y atencion al detalle, es NOCTUA. compré este ventilador para remplazar/modificar el que trae mi Ender3 V3 SE y despues de imprimir un adaptador el remplazo fue sin ningún problema ya que te incluyen todo tipo de cable que podrias necesitar y hasta CONECTORES PONCHABLES para que no tengas que usar un cautin ni nada por el estilo. sin mencionar que al ser NOCTUA es básicamente silencioso a comparación de la turbina de jet que trae por default esa máquina.

Due to their 24V rating, these are advertised as a "silent" alternative to the stock fans of your 3D printer. And yes, they are silent but mostly because they move about half the air a stock fan does. I used these to replace the fans on my Ender 3 and the result was nothing but problems. It doesn't cool the heat sink of the hot end enough causing filament to bulge before it reaches the hot end. This results in under extrusion and extruder skipping because it needs a lot more force to push the filament through the hot end. Also, when changing filament, I had to take the extruder apart because due to the bulging of the filament, the filament got stuck in the lever of the extruder. So for now, I'm stuck with using the stock but very noisy fan until I find a proper "silent" replacement...

Ottimo prodotto,preso per sostituire una ventola simile su una stampante 3d ma fastidiosa per il rumore. Questa è silenziosissima.

Utiliser pour faire un Mod sur ma Bambu lab a1, peu de bruit, aspiration correcte. Beaucoup de petit connecteurs inclus.

Quality fan, as described. Replaced the drive cooling fan in my Ender 3, Original fan was way to loud... This fan you cant even hear at full speed, and it pushes more air the the original fan as well!
