Loud Fan Noise When Printing
Do you hear a loud noise that begins when the printer head starts printing?
It might be coming from debris or build-up in the air assist fan located on the back of the printer head. The good news is, it’s easy to fix! This step-by-step article takes you through it.
If you run into trouble while cleaning your fan, please let us know at support@glowforge.com and give us as much detail as possible about what went wrong.
