Trying to understand Fan Speed or is it a bug?
in UltiMaker Cura
Posted
Hi,
I have been using the Cara slicer for a while and love it, but I have a strange problem now that I have a fan setup for cooling.
Iam using Cura 14.09, and in the Expert settings I have the following settings under the Cool Section:
Fan full on at Height: 0.6mm
Fan Speed Min: 50%
Fan Speed Max: 100%
Min Speed (mm/s): 10
Cool head lift: enabled.
My layer height is 0.2mm.
When I slice an object and look at the gcode here is what I see for the M106 (turn on fan) command(s):
and that is all. My setting says that at 0.6mm which is layer (2) the fan should be on full 100% (M106 S255).
Perhaps I am not understanding how the fan settings work. Please let me know.
Thanks
Mark
