[FEAT REQ] Fan speed override for overhangs

[swatti 2]

Most overhangs come VERY nice but there is a part about 250mm long with a mere 45-decree overhan on its side and that comes out terribad, massive droopping.

I manually tried to fire up the fans at full during those and it had some positive effect, sadly it overcooled the part and it peeled from the bed.

Simple idea: Overhang-settings active? If yes, enable fan-speed override. If possible, to fire up the fans BEFORE they reach the desired area, a settings box.

This feature is available in my Cura builds, see https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s43vqzmi4d2bqe2/AAADdYdSu9iwcKa0Knqgurm4a?dl=0.

 

Please read the README.md file there before installing.

NIIIICE!

Any chance this will make it to regular build?

No, it has already been rejected by the Cura guardians.

Thats odd... Any reason why?

I can't remember for sure, I've had quite a few offerings rejected. I don't make a big deal about it, just move on.
