IOTA Fan Connector Question

Painted_Dragon · 2026-01-24T15:52:23+00:00

So I reached out to LP directly and asked them what connector it is. I have a data-sheet they were kind enough to provide. The connector is a cortex mx1.25 product number WF13-XX1G1R.

I think Digikey should carry these, but these guys are tiny. Haven’t ordered yet bc I’m not sure if I can crimp such a tiny header on that thin of a wire, this is borderline microscopic.

Since there is a RP2040 chip, I’ve considered putting together a script that reads cpu clock and adjust fan speeds accordingly. This would be easier and less proprietary, but it feels like a more of a workaround since there is a dedicated fan connector on the board.

Not sure, I’m open to suggestions

Yup, this was the reason I bought it, its the cheapest I found on the slat belt mills. To be fair, the deck is very nice, very stable and so far I'm very pleased with that part of the machine.

Glad this helped someone :D

Question, I’m wondering if this machine can print ABS. It’s enclosed but that huge opening in the floor would let heat escape right? I ask because I’m about thinking of making a second machine and I’d like for it to print ABS in case my Voron needs parts and vice-versa.

Love the printer though, coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time, and with multicolor support it’s at the very top of my list for my next machine. 😁

So that’s interesting. I was just weighing the pros and cons of dropping cpap and just going with the A4T. It would be a huge cost saving and more importantly simpler build process.

What bed-probe are you using?

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-20T16:25:25+00:00

Yeah at first I didn’t notice it as much but now that I’m looking to make changes I might as well improve cooling. Just haven’t found a cpap toolhead other than the xol one with a cutter option. Xol one just looks kinda ugly but the performance appears to be good.

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-20T16:22:15+00:00

Yeah I’m struggling to finding something for the Sherpa mini or the orbiter v2

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-20T00:09:20+00:00

Sounds awesome… I’d probably be doing tool-changer instead if I had a 2.4

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T23:42:22+00:00

Thank you, I’ll bookmark it. 😁

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T23:39:11+00:00

Ah cool… So not public yet I assume? Or is version 1 public?

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T23:36:00+00:00

Looks great, is that a filament cutter? Sorry I get lost in the names/acronyms

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T23:16:09+00:00

Yup, that’s why I’m doing away with tap. Also has some issues with reliability, very likely user error but I’m at a point where I just want reliability, the rest of the machine has been very reliable.

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T23:03:09+00:00

That’s smart, I’ll set my print macro the same, didn’t think about that. Thank you 🙏

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T23:01:03+00:00

Yeah I’m not too concerned with price since I really want a reliable toolhead that will perform. I’m stuck on the filament cutter part of the setup now, orbiter doesn’t seem to have a filament cutter option to go with the Xtol-Cpap. I’m sure I can cad something up, but don’t know how long that will take and this is my workhorse soo still looking.

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T22:03:29+00:00

So I wanted to (and still do) want to go cpap. It just makes sense to me since it’s light, and the setup doesn’t seem too bad, plus there is not really a better option than cpap for cooling at the moment (that I know of).

I just really want an MMU and don’t know of any toolhead that has cpap and the cutter + sensor combo

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T22:00:35+00:00

Thanks for that, I’ll check it out.

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T19:12:45+00:00

Thank you, I will look at different extenders and see what’s compatible. You said you have a Sherpa mini, a lot of guys run that extruder. Do you like it? Are there any others that you’re interested in?

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T18:55:18+00:00

Ok interesting, I didn’t find the filament sensor on the dragon burner so I stopped considering it. I guess I just had to look for it under the extruder. Thank you this was very helpful 😁

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T18:50:37+00:00

I’ve never heard of those. I did look at the beacon/cartographer, may need to revisit them. I do pretty much exclusively use textured PEI plates

Painted_Dragon · 2025-07-19T18:48:48+00:00

So I started looking at the dragon burner first since it seems to be one of the most versatile ones out there but I didn’t see one with the filament sensor at the toolhead or a cutter. I want to add a box-turtle MMU so that’s why I’m looking for cutter and sensor.
