## Extruder

### Fan

If you need to replace the radial fan (mine started vibrating and slowing down after a few months), look for *12V 50mm Radial Fan ball bearing* on Aliexpress.

### Fan duct

I like ["Spriya" - High Efficiency Anet A8 Fan Duct](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2133328).

### Filament loader

The [Anet A8 Ergonomic Retained Extruder Release Button](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2040446) will save your fingers.

### Filament access

To dismantle easily the fan to access a stuck filament, consider [Anet A8 modification for filament loader](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2037833).

### Insulation
You can find silicone covers on Aliexpress. Sear
