Hi!

I've recently upgraded my Original Ultimaker (bought in 2012) with this dual-fan mod from NeatherBot:

Everything went great, except I can't seem to run the fans at anything less than 240/255. At full speed, it seems a little excessive and is quite noisy.

I'm running the latest Marlin firmware, and the latest version of CURA. I've tested the fan speeds by just manually sending commands through CURA.

These are the fans:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      "Back To The Future" using Generative Design & Investment Casting

      SteveCox3D posted a topic in Engineering,

      Designing for light-weight parts is becoming more important, and I’m a firm believer in the need to produce lighter weight, less over-engineered parts for the future. This is for sustainability reasons because we need to be using less raw materials and, in things like transportation, it impacts the energy usage of the product during it’s service life.
