Making Creality CR-10 silent – fan replacement power mod

If you are owner of CR-10 you are aware of how noisy this printer is. There are so many noises – the heatbreak and the part fans, the axes movements and mainly the fans in the control box. The noise is low frequency and is not audible in the other rooms when doors are closed. However if you need to work in the same room while printing, this power mod is for you.
