How to Power and Install the CR Motor Heat Sink Assembly for Epson L1800/1390 DTF & DTG Printers

Question:

Hi! I bought the Premium CR Motor Heat Sink Assembly with Fan (https://bch-youtube-fan-store.myshopify.com/products/premium-cr-motor-heat-sink-assembly-with-fan-for-l1800-1390-dtf-dtg-printers-1 recently and I can’t figure out how to power it. Is there an installation video or a diagram?

Answer:

CR Motor Heat Sink Assembly Powering

For the operation of the CR Motor Heat Sink Assembly, a 5V 0.2A DC brushless fan is used; this type was used for its longevity and efficiency. Specifically built for efficiency allowing it to run all day long with your printer staying cool and still working as intended. A brushless fan also reduces noise and vibrations, so you can enjoy more silent and stable printing.

The fan requires a 5V power source to run. Here are some possibilities for doing this:

Repurpose an old phone charger: The output from most phone chargers is 5V, so these can be recycled for this install. You just cut the USB end, and attach it to fan's positive (RED) and negative (BLACK) wires.

Reuse a USB charging cable: If you don't mind cutting up a USB cable (if you have a spare), you can strip off the outer casing and attach the red (+) and black (-) wires to the fan so you can power it from any USB port.

Get a dedicated 5V power adapter: If you want a more ready to go solution, you can buy a 5V adapter online like this one here: 5V Power Adapter (https://amzn.to/3Fch4zW)

Installation Guide

So, we don’t have an installation video up yet, but below is a simple guide on how to set up your heat sink assembly:

Find CR Motor Location in Your Epson L1800 or 1390 Printer

Fasten the heat sink assembly tight to ensure heat dissipation.

Connect the fan's power wires to a 5v power source (this could be a phone charger, a USB cable, or some power adapter detailed above).

Also, make sure there are no loose wires hanging that may interfere with the moving parts of the printer.

Finally, turn your printer on and run the fan test. If the fan does not run, check the wires for the proper polarity (red to positive, black to negative).
