I want to upgrade my Ender 5 plus with a dual 5015 24v Satsana cooling upgrade or a dual 5015 hero me gen 7 cooling system. But I would like to know if the ender 5 plus stock board will be able to handle the power draw of the bigger dual fans (2) over the stock single smaller cooling fan. (I would not be changing the hot end fan). If it would work do I solder the wire together or buy small plugs to crimp on (any recommendations on which plugs). Also which cooling system would you recommend dual Satsana or hero me gen7. I have upgraded with the older micro swiss direct drive and hot end on my printer. (not the new one)
Thanks
Wont hurt the board at all. You could do both for install but buying a 2 pin split cable will make it a more clean
I swapped out the 40mm fans on the MB and Power supply on my Ender 3v2 with 92mm fans. No problem.
Thanks for the answers.
I was going to try running another wire, but I will solder a split cable instead.

We do also offer a pre-made option! Usually mainboards will give you a bit of headroom for fans as different fans could potentially require wildly different power.

Does your printer have a 24 v Supply? Otherwise you will need a Buck Converter for the fan.
I finally finished installing the cooling upgrade!
I was very surprised how loud the 5015 fans are!
I now need to do lots of calibrating to improve quality, any help would be nice. I’m printing at 100mm/sec with 1mm retraction, nozzle temp 205 with the matter3d basics pla. I’m printing the bridge at a speed of 50mm/sec the 150mm bridge did work but has very bad adhesion between layers because of big sagging. With the bridge, overhang, string test, I found the basics pla is very stringy but the gold color is totally fine stringing wise. (The gold is a matter3d performance pla printed at 225, its better and stronger then most pla+.) Any help would be very much appreciated.
Silk filaments foam a bit they puff up at temperature. This causes a bit extra retraction. I’d try more retraction on the non silks and you may need to play with fan speed and temps to find a spot where adhesion and extrusion counter stringing.
Is the nozzle worn? This will dramatically increase stringing. Depending on the filament it can wear very fast! From the bottom to top of a big print in my experience.
I only use hardened steel now. Name brand they are just made better.
I’d also check the extrusion speed too.

Thanks for the reply! I put on a new nozzle and increased the retraction to 1.5mm and found great improvement. There still is a small bit of stringing but much better. Do you have any thoughts on improving the bridging? Thanks for your help.
You can try slowing the print speed down. And using a finer layer height. These tend to increase bridging and improve layer adhesion. Check the extrusion too you want to avoid over extrusion.
