Embrace innovation with the new, ditching the old. Introducing a fan holder customized for Noctua NF-A6x25 fans, slightly larger than its predecessor but without issues. The enhanced Noctua fan significantly boosts airflow over objects. Vibration pads integrated within the design provide exceptional noise reduction.

From the Noctua Fan box (part nr.6), take out the 4x Rubber Anti-Vibration Mounts and insert them into the Fan Holder completely. 2.

Position the Noctua Fan Holder between the aluminum plate and wooden part 8B. 7. Secure the holder with long studding screws (2x). 8. Fill the other side of the aluminum plate with washers until it aligns with wooden part 8B, then screw in the long studding screws. 9. Push the bowden tube deeper into place. 10. Reinstall the colored horseshoe beneath the tightener to secure the bowden tube. 11. Disconnect the connector of the Ultimaker's extension cable from its pins. 12.
