24 W laser fan squeal (solved)

Accessories J Tech Laser
1

Just got the new 24 W JTech laser for my Journeyman. Got it installed and running, but right from the start the fans are giving off a high pitched squeal.
Has anyone else had this happen, or is this normal ?

I did try searching the forum, but didn’t find anything.

Thanks.
Paul

It’s normal, But Jtech has just released a gasket (you can 3d print or buy) to quiet them down. Email jtech support.

Thank you ! I’ll look into it, although the squeal is an annoyingly good reminder that the laser is on.

Thanks,

Paul

Hello Everyone,

This is Shane from JTech. You can access our website through the following link, where you have the option to purchase the fan plate or download the STL file for 3D printing.

I just found this by accident. I didn’t know we could do anything about the squeel and I’ve just been living with it. Thanks a ton for providing the 3dp model for free. I printed it out in about 12 min and installed it and my noise level is drastically reduced! :slight_smile:
