Introduction
The M3D's fan is a crucial component of the M3D, and if it is faulty or broken, your printer won't operate ideally. A faulty fan might make your printer very noisy, or it might not properly cool down your prints, causing warping and inaccuracy. Luckily, the M3D Store sells affordable replacement fans, and the repair is very quick and easy. Aside from a tool to pry out the fan, such as a metal spudger, you don't need any special equipment, so this is a simple fix.
