I have only had my Berd Air setup for a few months now and the motor on my pump is really weak. I was troubleshooting cooling issues and didnt notice the weak flow until a little bit ago. It still moves air but the flow is much lower than usual. It didnt hit me that the pump was the issue until I realized the pump wasnt bouncing around on the mount I printed (uses rubber bands to suspend it) like it usually does. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement motor for one of these pumps? There are no markings on any of the parts so I dont even know where to begin looking since I dont even know the specs.

I am using the tubing that came with your kit. The tube going to the pipe is 1/4" OD, and seems like 1/8" ID. Of course im using the 1/16" yellow tubing that attaches to the pipe. Its a 24V motor in my pump. I was having all kinds of printing problems before I finally realized the pump was putting out far less air than it did when I got it.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I used a fan to blow on the motor while its running to help keep it cool.. i was hoping that would prevent premature failure but it did not.
Unfortunately I am out of stock on the 24v pumps. Send your address to gjb@themakerhive.com and I will ship you a new motor as soon as my next order arrives. - No charge. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Curious which pumps are out there besides the style of pump you have here. Seems that most of my searches turn up similar pumps to the ones you sell, but I havent seen a better alternative.
