My fan has come loose from the USB chipset...

Hello,

I just wondered if someone could tell me how to put this thing back on, and what adhesive works best... a picture of another fully assembled Robo 3d would be nice ... It has totally stopped my entire setup!

Thanks,
TOR

 

Wow, I'm surprised that no one can just put a pic of their "factory" built Robo 3d so I can at least see the fan placement on the bottom corner near the USB plug...

 

Your parts fan? It plugs into D9

 

Thanks guys... but how did you install it? I'm just worried about something melting or breaking so I'm a bit scared to even turn this on (I haven't yet) to get it calibrated. The red/black cords do not allow for much room and it even seems that the Robo3d guys have made their own custom piece to attach this too, however, there is nothing indicating where... not even glue residue... help!

edit typo

 

Will you take a picture so we know exactly what you're talking about.

 

I've glued it in this position, blowing over the chipset... thoughts?

 

That fan was added to help cool the mosfet things (the 2 orange coloured square bits).

The black support should clip onto the PCB edges so the fan is blowing directly down over the mosfets.

I am sure someone who has one fitted can take a picture to show you how it goes.

 

Hey Raven, Check out this forum http://forums.robo3dprinter.com/ind...n-to-prevent-heat-bed-cutting-out.1299/page-3. Post number 44 is from Jerry and gives a diagram regarding the fan and where to place it and plug it in.

 

Hey drew if you click the #44 it gives you a direct link to post: http://forums.robo3dprinter.com/ind...t-heat-bed-cutting-out.1299/page-3#post-12186

 

Thanks Mike, We could not remember off the top of our heads how to do it haha.

 

Thanks guys... I'll try and place the fan closer to the "mosfet"?

 

well there is mosfets there, but the yellow polyfuse is what's causing issues
