    Hey all,

    I just finished printing and installing a dual fan mount with shrouds for the R1, and I'm now realizing I overlooked the slight detail of wiring in the second fan...
    Is there a pin on the arduino board that's already set up for a second fan? or should I splice the second fan to the first one? Any other ideas for doing this?

    Thanks

    I did the same as @WheresWaldo Mine is a "Y connector" one to each fan into 1 for the harness. Works great. expecially if you have one fan die, you can pull it and replace without putting the machine down.
