What did we answer this week?

I was wondering what fan I could use to replace the fan on the hotend of my Cr 10 v2? 

​I was wondering what a good direct drive and hotend would be good for a Cr 10 v2 and a Cr 10s pro v2?

I enabled/calibrated Linear Advance on my E3P with bowden, and results were terrible. Tons of zits. Is Linear Advance mostly for DD?

Do you guys think there will be much of a learning curve/never before seen issues with the CR-30?

I’ve had my Ender 5 Pro for almost three months. I haven’t upgraded anything. I can print most anything I want. Is there any reason to add a BL Touch or upgrade to a 32bit board?
