    And also about the service life of a fan in a well built rig one of the things I like to do is wire my fans into the extruder heater #2 port on my mainboards and set them in the firmware to turn on only when the extruder temp is above 50c. I wire all the frame fans to this along with the extruder. This way when the printer just sits at idle not only is it silent and drawing less power but it is also not in the process of wearing itself out just at idle. The fans can come on as the printer heats up and gets ready to start working. And shut off as it cools.
