If you know of any other fans that run quieter than the stock ones and cool better I’m all ears but every search for quiet fans I do brings up the same thing.

I’m also adding dampeners to the X & Y axis.
The noctua 40mm fan for the hot end is good. I would get the 20mm thick one if you can. I have the 10mm and it’s airflow is rather low - although I have no heat creep issues on my E3d v6.
You can also configure the fan speeds for the hot end if you connect to the board. While mentioning that, your board will have some 12v output pins you can also use for the hot end fan. Your dual part cooling fans have a dedicated port as well

It should be noted that I probably won’t be printing in anything but pla for quite a while

What did you go with?
Don’t waste time with PLA. Try some PLA +

I’m only using pla because I need something with the least abrasive smell since I’m printing indoors in my living room and my wife is quite sensitive to odor.
Doesn’t pla+ have added additives? Does that increase odor?

It does and it can. But it’s very very minimal if at all
If you create a small enclosure you can vent air and smells too
The smell is minimal. but she’s right. Sweet and hot.

Also what is the best way to clear a nozzle starte sprinting with abs didn’t like it and want to go back to pla/Petg but the nozzle needs to be cleaned out first
Look up how to do a cold pull on YouTube.

Just FYI, most of the parts on amazon are parts being resold from aliexpress.
If you can wait, you can save by ordering directly
