Fan starts by itself?

[wallan 0]

I have placed a tweek at layer 3 that turns of the fan.

But it did start anyway.

Also tried a second tweek at layer 20 but still I found it spinning later on.

Is there any perticular layer I must reach before i can turn of fan for rest of print?

And to bring in some light in the dark:

How does your tweek look like?

(maybe you can show with the line before and after the fan-line)

I haven't changed anything in code.

I used the Tweak At Z plugin.

I think this is the place where the tweek is suppose to happen.

But I dont expect any problem with that really.

It's more like there is some code somewhere that turns the fan on later in the print.

What is the code for setting fan speed, can take a look myself i I know what to look for.

Ok.

I googled that that M106 is fanspeed and the S value after the speed in percent.

But I rather guess that the value on S is 0-255 as that's what it seems like from the gcode.

If I look at the gcode it goes something like this.

Layer 1 S5

Layer 2 S10

Layer 3 S15

Layer 3 S0 TweekAtZ (0 with the option to keep the value for rest of print selected)

Layer 4 S20

Layer 5 S25

....

Layer 20 S107

Layer 20 S0 TweekAtZ (0 with the option to keep the value for rest of print selected)

Layer 21 S112

......

Layer 47 S255 (this is the last Fan change, probably because it has reached max speed)

Seems to me as the Tweak has no effect at all.

Fan value rises with about 5 per layer.

[Dim3nsioneer 557]

Put 'full fan at layer' to a layer number lower than the one you want to tweak. Cura ramps up the fans by setting an increased number every layer until the max specified.

The option to keep the settings to the end in the TweakAtZ settings means it does not actively change it back. However if something else influence the fan speed, e.g. Cura itself, TweakAtZ does not care about.

If you think the behavior of the plugin should be different, please issue a feature request at Github.

Ok, I undestand.

What if I disable fan in Cura.

Would I then be able to take full controll by using TweakAtZ.

As far as I can see from the gcode no M106 commands except the one from TweakAtZ exists.
