Fan Speed

Recommended Posts

I've set my fans to come on full at 1mm, then, I while printing, I actually put them on full after the first layer.

I've noticed though that during the print, the fan speed automatically fluctuates down to 50% 80% etc.

You can manually turn it back up to 100%, but obviously I don't want to sit there and baby sit. How do you prevent the fan speed from changing during a print?

Cheers.

    That's because cura increases the fan speed gradually for the first layers. If you look at the gcode you'll see a "M106 S127" (the second number is the speed) that changes for each layer in the beginning. This will override the fan setting in the tune menu. I would just change the layer height it comes on at to something lower to go around it.

        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.
