Creality 12V 4010 Blower Fan

This 12V 0.1A 40x40x10mm Blower Fan is built to fit the Creality CR-10 range of 3D printers, and is designed to effectively cool down printed parts during the 3D Printing process. This helps to solidify the printed plastics quickly, which reduces the sagging or deformations that would typically occur if the plastics were left to solidify at temperatures close to their melting point. Fortunately, this is easy to fix with a simple blower fan, which ensures that your final printed parts match the original designs without artefacts or misshapen dimensions.

These Fans are relatively basic, featuring one yellow and one blue wire, with the warmer colour (yellow) denoting positive and the colder colour (blue) denoting ground, which is meant to help you easily identify which cables belong to which fan at just a glance of the controller board.  In terms of installation, these fans feature four simple mounting points to attach them to the side of the Hotend Assembly, where they can direct effective cooling through the shroud and onto the printed parts.

Although Creality 3D have been working within the industry since 2014, their addition of the Creality CR-10 series is what really catapulted them to the front line of competition, as it offered substantially better quality compared to other 3D printers – while simultaneously reducing the cost and complexities of the machines.

The quality of Creality’s 3D Printers and accessories shows through in their market history, with the brand selling around 3000 printers in their first year on the market, followed by about 10,000 sales over the next year. Now, Creality easily sells around 30,000 or more 3D printers each year, with sales continuously rising as they bring out more models. These are impressive numbers when considering the fact that they entered the industry as unknown competitors, quickly rising through the ranks and now even competing with Wanhao and similar top brands.

If you are looking for excellent 3D Printers that offer affordability without compromising on quality, Creality 3D is certainly a brand that you should take note of. From the basic Creality Ender 2 all the way up to the large build volume Creality CR-10 S5, there are few other brands who are capable of offering such a refined package while still maintaining some of the most enticing prices in the industry.
