In Cura - click on your printer, go to Manage Printers and then Machine Settings. In the left lower part of the dialog is "StartUp G-Code". The Ender 3 usually starts with the following lines:
92 E0 ; Reset Extruder
G28 ; Home all axes
G1 Z2.0 F3000 ; Move Z Axis up little to prevent scratching of Heat Bed
Add a line M106 S0 after the G28 line so your start Gcode looks like this:
92 E0 ; Reset Extruder
G28 ; Home all axes
M106 S0 ;shut off the cooling fan
G1 Z2.0 F3000 ; Move Z Axis up little to prevent scratching of Heat Bed
There should be an M106 S0 (or M107 - same thing) in your Ending Gcode as well. The M107 is being deprecated in some firmware so M106 S0 is a better choice.
Doing it this way will mean that all your prints start with the cooling fan off. Your Cura cooling settings will take effect at the start of the actual print.
Hey thanks so much for this. my ABS purge strip is now adhering properly. I also did a quick test with PLA and the parts fan came on as per my profile settings.
Much appreciated!

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
