Compatible Machines:
- Universal – This works with any 24V printer when you use a hotend mount that supports a 5015 Layer Fan.
Installation Notes:
- Be sure to check the polarity on the wires you are connecting our fans to. Typically red is positive and black/blue is negative but some of the Chinese printers do not adhere to these standards.
- There is no list of what machines use what as it can vary from model to model and we have even seen differences in wiring colors used in the same printer models.
- Our fans use red for positive and black(or blue) for negative. You can verify polarity with a cheap $10 multimeter from Amazon or you local hardware store.
- If fans are shorted out/killed due to improper wiring this is NOT covered under warranty.

DIY Part Fitment/Installation/Wiring
This is a universal DIY 3D printer part. That means it will work on almost any 3D printer, but you must know what you are doing.
Our technical support does not cover selecting/designing/assisting in firmware setup and/or 3d models to install this part on your printer. If purchased as part of a kit from TH3D for a particular printer, then it will be covered under the kit when using our firmware package.
Electrical replacement parts usually will require you to splice wires into your existing ones for the part you are replacing (soldering and heat shrinking wire splices is recommended for proper connection).
Some of our universal electrical parts come with bare wire ends or plugs on them. These ends may or may not directly plug into your 3D printer. If they do not, you will need to splice the wires into the existing ones on your 3D printer.

The TH3D team only selects the best parts. This is why these fans are selected as well. unlike the Noctua fan pushing much lower air flow this 5015 blower is a powerhouse. There is some whine initially but partnered with the fan fix from the TH3D unified firmware that is gone instantly.
Once again a great product for any system.

So you need a fan? They don’t last forever so buy an extra. This is an exact reply just double check the voltage 12/24

This fan is the fan I adapted for my Artiller3D sidewinder. The stock fan is like a fart in the wind, and this fan is like a hurricane. I can’t believe how hard this fan blows. Also the picture doesn’t look like the fan I got. The one I got looks like a micro DC RC motor with a fan blade on it. Get this fan.

Glad you like the fan! The difference in the photos is because we sometimes have multiple vendors for fans. The specs are the same but appearances may vary, depends on what we can get at the time of ordering, but this allows us to keep the same spec product in stock at all times instead of going out of stock. Thanks for the review.

Tim this fan is crazy. I’ve never had a fan I had to run at half speed… at full blast even PLA is not sticking to itself. It’s blowing filament like a string in a wind storm. The ability to have more is way better. I wish it was a 3 wire so I can put one on my Prusa!

You would use it with an aftermarket mount for the hotend like the PETSFang or HeroMe. Ender 5 Mounts work with the Ender 5 Plus as they use the same carriage.

I was previously using 2 4010 fans in a hero me duct. Because I am adding the EZabl I decided to go with a single 5015 fan to clear up room on the left side of the nozzle. I can tell you this 5015 fan moves more air than dual 4010’s. I am totally impressed with this fan. On my Ender 5 it will not run with anything less than 100% speed. I am installing an EZboard in the next couple of days so I will take care of that problem at that time. Buy this fan. You will be glad you did.

FWIW I had to enable FAN_SOFT_PWM in Marlin to get the fan to run at speeds lower than 100%. Fan is working great!
(0) (0)
Tim Hoogland –
Yes, that is correct. It’s due to these higher end fans having an “auto restart” feature. It needs slower PWM. We have an option in our firmwares that set that as well called “FAN_FIX”.

Just an update on my previous review. The new EZBoard Lite totally fixed my fan issue. I am using the fan fix setting in the th3d unified firmware but I’m not sure I really need it. I am now running my fan at 80% and getting great results. If I have a build with some big overhangs I will run the fan at 100% but in normal printing it isn’t necessary. This fan rocks the airflow!

These TH3D fans are definitely an upgrade from the ones I bought on Amazon. Significant quality difference. I now have dual 5015 on the hotend, can make the longest ridiculous bridges and over hangs. Accidentally got shipped a 12v and 24v, instead of dual 24v, but customer support rectified the issue and sent a replacement out literally the next day. Couldn’t be happier going through TH3D! Thanks.

Any information on the noise rating on this fan? My printer sits next to me in my office. I’m building out an upgrade to a E3D Hemera and am looking to quite the printer in the process.

The noise level is 37db. It’s average, not silent but not obnoxious (in my opinion). But you can set the fan speed slower to reduce noise.

How does this product compare to the WINSINN brand or others that sell this similar product?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland (verified owner) –
These fans we sell have a high air flow output (5CFM) and utilize dual ball bearings for a long life. We also stand behind our warranty on our fans (90 days) so if you have an issue we will replace it. Other overseas sellers may be difficult and/or slow to get replacements for warranty claims. We hand ours in a week or less on average.
It would depend on the specifications of the fan you are referring to WINSINN is a generic chinese fan maker and has many models.

Question
Alex Tri (verified owner) –
I noticed the CFM of these fans is comparable to the CFM of the 4010 fans, but i’m guessing it’s because of the RPM being drastically lower which probably helps quite well for noises, but could one raise the speed of these to a similar 7000RPM through firmware in order to increase the CFM? or is that not recommended?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland (verified owner) –
You can’t “raise the RPM” on a fan past its design spec. Fan control doesn’t work like that.

Vincent Ng –
I’ve always been curious… what are the pros of using a 5015 blower fan such as this one over the smaller 4010 blower fan (https://www.th3dstudio.com/product/4010-ball-bearing-fan-24v/)? According to the specs on their respective product pages, the 5015 draws more power, has a lower CFM rating, and is quite a bit louder. And based on the dimensions, it’s undoubtedly heavier too.
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland (verified owner) –
Hi there. The V2 fans actually have a CFM of 8+, the product page was wrong – it’s been updated to be the correct rating. These also provide more air pressure than a 4010 which is helpful when pushing air through ducts.

Yu-Bing Chang –
1. What is the temperature rating of this 5015 fan? What is the maximum recommended environment temperature?
2. What is the distance between those two screw mounting?
Thanks.
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland (verified owner) –
1. Max temp we’d recommend would be 70C for the ambient air temp. Any higher and it will degrade the bearing life.
2. The spacing is about 56.5mm between the centers of the 2 mounting holes.

Most people go with a mount like the HeroMe Gen 5 for a 5015 on the Ender 3 V2. We do accept custom print requests so when you find the mount you want to use (check Thingiverse) all you need to do is send us the STL files through our Contact Us page and we’ll give you a price on printing a mount for you.

I want to make my printer run quiet and was planing to use dual blowers so I can slow the fan down, would I need two? Looks like one is more than enough from the reviews.

Tim Hoogland (verified owner) –
You’d probably be fine with just one fan. At full speed they will make some noise but at lower (50%) speeds they’ll be quieter and still move air. But you will have the benefit of being able to pump up the fan speed when you need it.

Tim Hoogland (verified owner) –
All the noise levels on all fans are taken with the fan in open air, not mounted to anything. Once you mount the fan to a mount or surface it’s noise level will change. 60decibels does sound high though so send our support team a video and check if anything is stuck in the fan and/or damage on the blades.

They blow a lot of air and still work at very low fan speeds. They seemed kind of weak at first, but I guess there was a break-in period since they blow a lot more air now.

This can would work but you will need to print an adapter to convert from the stock 4020 size fan to this 5015 fan size. Voltage on that machine is 24V, which is what this fan is. This mount would do the trick: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5276510
