Introduction
The extrusion head fan keeps the assembly piece cool and free of debris for continued printing. Before starting this replacement you will need to remove the plastic cover. You will need a hex wrench and a small Phillip's head screwdriver. Be sure you are careful when removing the fan, because it is a thin plastic that is easily breakable.
What you need
-
-
Remove the plastic cover that sits on the extruder, next to the fan, by lifting the latches in the back. The latches should lift right out.

I have a problem with my UP PLUS 3D printer and I really need your help. First printer started to stop in the middle of the printing, then got to the point where I wasn’t even able to connect it to my laptop (it didn’t recognize it) and now, when I press Print, before even slicing completes, the software crashes and I have to reopen (basically I can’t print anything as every time I try, same thing happens). The weird part is that sometimes I can adjust the bed, heat up extruder, extract or retract filament from software but the moment I press print, it dies. PLEASE HELP!!!
