<p>Nope. It didn't affect my printer noticable.</p>

I scrapped the idea of adding a dual cooling fans and this cooling fan. I printed out the fan holder, ordered a 40mm fan, and soldered it to the existing cooling fan. It works (as in they both turn on), but I've noticed that the 40 mm fan is lowering the temperature of the heating block. Have you noticed this?

<p>@<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youmagine.com/users/aldofigueroa">aldofigueroa</a>&nbsp;there are places on the PCB where you can get 12V and then pull that up to the head. I'd look into that. It could be that you have buildups of residue in your hotend. If you have an Ultimaker 2, I'd check out this method of cleaning: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/10-the">http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/10-the</a></p>

Thanks for the reply. My troubles started once I ran out of the PLA that came with my UMO. I have PLA from UltiMachine that gets stuck (forms a small bulb head) after a couple hours of printing. I'm hoping your solution will work. On a side note, is there a way to power the fan other than sharing power with the print head cooling fan? I'm interested in adding dual cooling fans, in addition to the fan from your solution.

<p>I used a soldering iron and some jst plugs I had from ebay, so it's nothing fancy. Just easier to unplug when required.</p><p>Out of curiosity - are all brands of filament causing trouble, or is it just one?</p>

I've been having clogs at the top of the extruder on my ultimaker and hope your fan holder suggestion solves my problems. I was wonder how did you create the Y-split cable using JST plugs? Working with electricity is not my strong suit.
