A New Spacer — Giving the uConsole Some Room to Breathe

Oh gosh, now I understand! When you placed the metal side against the capacitor, it shorted it out!

Yes, there’s space there, and I’m using it because, in that position, the fan will draw cool outside air through the lower-right vent and push it upward toward the hot area. The air will then escape through the upper vents, while also pushing warm air toward the upper-left side and keeping it circulating.

I’m looking for very small fans so I can take advantage of the new battery’s capacity and fit at least two blower fans. Once my battery pack arrives, I’ll give it a try.

Glad it’s still booting! Check whether the fan was damaged. If it wasn’t, there’s a chance the capacitor is still working. Test it with a multimeter to confirm whether it’s damaged—from the photo, it doesn’t look like it is. It’s not that difficult to replace, but it looks like it’s still working and hasn’t blown.

嗯,谢谢你。暂时没发现大问题。风扇也是好的。主要是这个电阻故障。

我暂时先用18650吧。后面有机会我会继续尝试风扇。1w功率的风扇还是能接受。

另外有一些手机的内置风扇可能也是不错的选择。

Exactly! I’m looking for tiny fans used in 3D glasses, with very low power consumption. I found the BSB01503HA3-00 (15 × 15 × 4 mm, DC 3 V) and the SENKAYS 2006 blower (20 × 20 × 6 mm, DC 5 V) - I’m using the latter one.

The BSB is 0.5 mm smaller and runs on 3 V. If it works, it should put less strain on the power supply than a 5 V fan, but I need to install the new battery pack and use batteries with a high current rating. Obviously, I’ll need to build a small board to step down the voltage from 5 V to 3 V and connect both fans to it.

Anyway, once I’ve installed everything, I’ll post photos for everyone. My new battery pack arrives next week.

Take care, my friend!

嗯,我关注到oppo k13t的风扇模块,我下单买了一个拆机件。我会试试。有人说是BSB01503HA4,过两天我拿到看看。

Hi t8923n! I now understand the problem you ran into, and I’ve fixed it. The original rear cover is slightly recessed rather than completely flat, creating a 0.02 mm difference. That’s why you noticed the gap.

Depending on the printing material, tightening the screws closes that gap, which is what happened in my case. However, if the screws aren’t tightened, the gap remains.

I’ve made a new .stl file to correct this, and this time I’ve even included a .step file for those lucky enough to have a CNC machine at home!

Thanks for giving my brain a little workout, and for your help. Problem solved!

Bar Version (original design).

Note: Please, if anyone can host the files somewhere else, I’d really appreciate it! I’m old—I’ve always used LimeWire, and I always will! :grin:

I’d suggest posting the files on printables or makerworld

I will try to add as many files related to this to my makerworld publishing here

Would it be rude of me to ask you to also do it on Printables where one can download without making an account on a Bambulab owned service? :nerd_face:

Yes, it would! Especially since I use Anycubic instead of Bambu! And that’s why this old guy uses LimeWire!:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Seriously, everyone, I made this for you as a contribution to the community. You’re welcome to share the .stl and .step files anywhere, as long as you credit me as their creator. Just as I credited the person behind the original idea, all I ask is that you keep the proper attribution. Even better… improve it, build on it, and share your versions too! :left_facing_fist: Enjoy!

Well I dont have a printables account but I second what Wander_Menezes has said anyone can download those files and put them anywhere as long as they give attribution so anyone could put it on printables, thingiverse or others.

can someone upload it to my computer as local file so I won’t use any 3rd party services?

thank you!

这个风扇太精致,太小,以至于感觉不太会有是什么作用。
我还是使用了5v 0.25a的 3003风扇。功率好像不是什么大问题。现在设备几乎能控制在50摄氏度以内,这是保持原装外壳,没有增加空隙的情况下。

Yes! Looking at the graph, the temperature stays between 38 and 43 °C most of the time, with a few peaks near 54 °C. The fan kicks in at certain points and runs at around 5,000 RPM.

It gives you more control over cooling, especially if you configure when it turns on and how fast it runs. In this graph, it seems to work mostly in an on/off mode. You’ve gained control, predictability, saving energy, gain thermal balance and gain thermal recovery… simply because you’re circulating the air.

Weird science! :grin:

我选用DELTA KBD0305HA3,感觉风力强劲,不过好像最低需要半速运行。我去年拿到uconsole就购买了这款风扇,但是一直没用起来 :sweat_smile: ,在你的提示下,我安装到了原本放4g模块的地方,出风口对着aio扩展板。忘记了拍摄照片,后面优化了补上。谢谢老兄的创意 :smiley:

我通过ai帮助按照以下程序控制。

#PWM fan control

dtparam=fan_temp0=45000
dtparam=fan_temp0_hyst=4500
dtparam=fan_temp0_speed=130
dtparam=fan_temp1=55000
dtparam=fan_temp1_hyst=4500
dtparam=fan_temp1_speed=180
dtparam=fan_temp2=60000
dtparam=fan_temp2_hyst=4500
dtparam=fan_temp2_speed=220
dtparam=fan_temp3=65000
dtparam=fan_temp3_hyst=4500
dtparam=fan_temp3_speed=255
