Duet 3 - Cooling fan configurations

A Former User · 29 Jan 2021, 17:32

Regarding hardware and firmware the only things we have in common seem to be:

RRF3.2
Simplify3D-4.1.2
thermostatic heat-break-fan
gcode-partcooling-fan
EDIT (see conversation): PanelDue

Right?

kj3d · 29 Jan 2021, 17:36

Other than the Panel Due then yes you are right

Looking at your GCODE have you tried switch on the hotend fan using M106 (from DWC) BEFORE it reaches the preset start temp?

I tried and mine just sat there without starting. However once the preset start limit is reached it seems to follow the M106 command for anything (irrespective of what fan the M106 command targets)

The tool fan slider will mirror what your part cooling fan is set to. They are the same fan. Thermostatically controlled fans don't show up in the UI at all. Click on change visibility to hide the tool fan if you wish. It only makes sense on machines with multiple tools where it will control the fan of the currently selected tool.

If the UI slider is changing the speed of your heat sink fan, it's either a configuration or wiring problem.

@kj3d

I was just looking here https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M106_Fan_On

and this section made me curious:

Hnn:nn:nn... Enable thermostatic mode and select heaters monitored. H-1 disables thermostatic mode. (In RRF_3 relates to the sensor number(s) created by M308, not the temperature sensor pin number on the board)

@Phaedrux said in Duet 3 - Cooling fan configurations:

The tool fan slider will mirror what your part cooling fan is set to.

?

Does that make any sense or doesn´t that mean that the "part cooling fan" should be kicked out forever once and for all from the firmware?

EDIT: Moved, see conversation

Phaedrux · 29 Jan 2021, 17:48

I don't know what you mean by that.

If that is the same fan:

why is it occupying screen-space 2 times? hey, I do not know, I am a single-extruder-single-tool-user, maybe somebody can explain it to me - could be that there is a benefit for multi-tool-users I guess?

As I explained, in machines with multiple tools the tool fan slider will always control the fan of the currently selected tool.

In machines with only a single tool you can hide either the tool fan or the print cool fan slider if you wish with the change visibility button.

A Former User · 29 Jan 2021, 17:57

@Phaedrux

Maybe for our kind (the OP and me) why not only have within DWC "Tool Fan (your current print cool fan)" and that´s it? If it is really the same why have 2 sliders when you can do it with one. If you insist to have 2 sliders then they are not the same? Or am I wrong here (maybe time for a 2nd tool to try out and see?)

EDIT: Moved, see conversation

Phaedrux · 29 Jan 2021, 18:01

Because the Duet is built around the concept of flexible tools. Some of those decisions and functions only become usefully apparent when multiple tools are apparent.

I would agree that it would be clearer for new users with only a single tool to show only a single slider, but it's really not such a big deal is it? You can hide it if you wish. There is a button right above it that says change visibility.

Here's another use case that might make more sense even if you have only a single tool, you may have 2 part cooling fans. left and right for instance. The tool fan will control the fans configured in the tool definition, so both fans at once. But you would also have an independant slider for each fan in case you wanted to adjust only one or the other.

A Former User · 29 Jan 2021, 18:05

@Phaedrux

Thanks for the example! So basically "all" tool fans i guess.
EDIT: I moved this side-talk to https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/21300/tool-fans-representation-within-dwc

But I deraild now what the OP had as problem! He actually sat down and tried different values and there seems to be some intertwining with the fans anyway (let´s keep DWC out from now on):

"
If the temperature on the tool fan is below the set point (35c) then only Fan 0 (part cooling fan) turns on. If the temp on the hotend is above 35c then moving the slider in the DWC ui changes the speed in both fans
"
Sorry @kj3d

Phaedrux · 29 Jan 2021, 18:06

@kj3d Can you post your config.g as copy and paste text?

Can you also send M122 and post the results, along with M98 P"config.g"?

your config appears to be correct. Usually if the heat sink fan is changing speed along with the part cooling fan that would indicate either the tool definition is incorrectly mapping both fans, or there is a wiring problem.

A Former User · 29 Jan 2021, 18:08

@kj3d

If you happen to have a permanent marker or a sticker I like to put that on the fan, that helps to be able to vaguely judge the running speed beside wetting a finger and putting it in front of it

@Phaedrux

M112 produced an interesting result (sent via consel)

kj3d · 29 Jan 2021, 18:44

M122 was much better!!
