If the next one fails the same way, print an empty box, just the walls, and set it to the same height as the dog

Oh wow. Usually they last longer then that
Personally I think amazon fans are junk and go through digikey or a supplier and get genuine sunon maglev fans. Super quiet and will last forever hopefully.
4010 is the stock size. I am running a 4020 for my cooling fan and most eventually upgrade to a blower type 5015
going from 2 4010 to a single 5015 squirrel wheel was a helluva improvment in airflow on the Nereus/Hemera
the 4010s work ok withthe open discharge like most "box" enclosed hotends but when your ducting it through a nozzle assembly they dont like any flow restriction.

itll go like this.....
Month 1-3
"why do you spend so much time fixing and working on that printer?" " Do you NEED to upgrade it?" "Why are you printing that stupid shit?"
Month 3-6
"You fixed that by printing?" "Oh that can be pretty useful."
Month 6+
"Can you print me this?" "Can you fix this"
Then itll collect dust for a bit.
12+ months
"Are you going to use that thing again?"
repeat when you buy printer #2
This is obligatory at this point
Alright.
Fuck 3D printing.
Nothing but fucking around trying to get this god damn thing working again.
Have I gone full circle yet?!

Officially spent more time troubleshooting than printing now.
Printer has been absolutely FUCKED since installing the CR touch.
Intermittently freezes and stops printing, won’t hold a z offset in memory, decides it doesn’t want to extrude at random times, doesn’t recognize an SD card better than 50% of the time.
I’m about two hours away from burying this thing under my work bench and being done with it forever.

Before you do anything go on to the creality support forums and do some simple searches Most of the time just a quick post will have someone pointing you in the right way to an answer or a work way to update your firmware.
The 3D printing Community is about as close as it gets to the automotive community

Firmware for sure. Stock marlin on those is junk. Also you need to run a m500 command after changes to save them to memory otherwise it gets wiped on reboot.
Also ditch the SD card and setup octoprint. If you aren't using a webcam, a $10 raspberry pi zero will work. It gives you a webpage interface and no more SD card. The SD card they give you is TRASH and WILL die sooner then later.

I would recommend staying with the creality branch of marlin as it should be more Plug and Play for you although if you really want to expand capabilities you can break out into the far more advanced Marlin tree
Sd cards are iffy on all of the cheaper boards. That's why we prefer the duet ethernet boards. The monster with a rpi4 as masterblaster for the duet2 Ethernet.
Although just recently we bought a duet 2 Wi-Fi for the third "big" machine we will probably sell as people have inquired about our large format machines.

Oh thats nice.
I ended up using a rpi4 with a poe to 5v converter. So its powered via Ethernet and has a wired connection.
Fuck me I can't believe it has been June of 2021 since this printer really ran.
I had a nightmare experience trying to get code compiled using vs code. For some reason I had to create a new windows user and it just magically worked. I can't figure out what is cached that is retaining settings and it is making me a bit crazy.
Besides that I had to clean out the pig tail coiled filament in the extruder, fix the wires I reversed and it seems pretty okay. I did have a reboot trying to get the bed to 110c. I think I want a FET board and possibly. A secondary PSU for this, something nearer 30-36v tomake things go better. Or just go 110 and be done with it.
just had the first print wrap up not spectacular but good. the enclosure got to 29.2c in a 65f room. My Homebrew stuff is gone I think this was worth it.
Besides that this printer is super quiet now. I could have it running while I work and do conf calls.
I still have the tronxy on a shelf tempted to grab it and do some stuff then I would have a fleet of 3.
wife is gone for the day and I had some brittle pla. I stuck it in the oven at 170 to "anneal." after that decided to hit the petg I have.
Much better experience than the toaster oven at 180, I think it had hot spots and poor temperature regulation.
Will it fix my PLA? who knows it is trash otherwise.

Probably. Lol. It did look really damn smooth. They mentioned it in the comments as well asking WTF.
Got my junk fixed a day or so after this and printing like a dream. Loving the garolite build plate.
I printed the parts for a direct drive extruder setup this last week and got it installed last night. Haven’t tried pushing too much for speed yet but knocked out a calibration cube in 17min with 20% infill and no degradation in quality.
I’m going to start messing with some other materials than PLA.
