    heads up if one of your cooling fans starts making noise there is a good chance it's about to die!!

    Mine just stopped making noise, the next thing I know the cooling fan mount had melted off and boom no more printing!

    Freak chance of luck my e3d v6 parts had already arrived so I'm forced to upgrade today.

    Yeah if you fan is making a grinding noise the bearing has spun and it's going to die.
