I replaced the hot-end fan on my 3D printer today, like I'd hoped to do. It's not gone silent like the PSU went, but it is better, and so I have an addition to my HEPA-filter comparison scale:
1: Original - printer much louder than HEPA filter on high
2: Replaced PSU - printer much quieter than HEPA filter oh high
3: Replaced hot-end fan - printer mostly inaudible over HEPA filter on high
Mostly today has been that occasional "okay I need to reorganise around my new processes" day, mostly on the 3D printing/electronics bench. It's something you need to do every so often when you've been adding stuff to an area for a few months and each additional bit you've done has been just that little bit ad-hoc, so you need to go okay, let's get this properly sorted.
And there are still a couple of questions to answer, but basically, now I have.
