Description

I’m on a mission to reduce the amount of noise my LulzBot Mini 3D printer makes.
I’ve already added a motor damper to the Y axis. However, one thing that is consistently noisy is the case fan. It’s on at > 70% nearly all the time. In addition to this, the air vent fins in the side of the case amplifies the fan noise. So, I decided to build my own fan controller. Killing 2 birds with one stone, I also wanted to merge my LED light controller into this project.
