Print fan speed & over all speed settings not matching with my printer setting

· Print fan speed & over all speed settings not matching with my printer setting
There are two sides here regarding print speed. The first side is what you enter into Cura for speed. If you were to enter 50mm/sec for print speed then the Gcode would show "F"3000mm/minute as the print speed. The LCD display would show 100%feedrate of the 50mm/sec. There is no box for a "percentage" of the print speed in Cura.
The second side is what the printer is told to do with the feedrate. You can manually adjust it on the LCD and all speeds coming into the printer/processor will be adjusted by that percentage. If you were to put M220 S80 in your startup gcode it would do the same thing as a manual adjustment and the LCD would show 80% feedrate. Every "F" parameter that comes into the printer would be adjusted to 80%. Your print speed would be 40mm/sec and your travel speeds would be 80% of whatever ended up in the gcode. Cura calculates the speeds...the printer feedrate% is a global adjustment of those calculated values.
The Fan Speed% should build from whatever you start at up to "Regular Fan Speed" at layer "Regular Fan Speed at Layer". If a layer time is below "Regular Maximum Fan Speed Threshold" then the fan speed will go to "Maximum Fan Speed".
Your fan icon on the LCD will show the current fan speed (as a % of duty cycle). If it says 100% then yes, the fan is spinning at 100%. As to why it's at 100%, now you have to go looking at the settings and at the gcode.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
