Hot end fan switches off at the start of the print.

dc42

Please do not use Fan 0 as the hot end fan. Doing so adds another layer of complexity, because all slicers control fan 0 as the part cooling by default. On a machine with a single hot end, use Fan 0 and the part cooling fan, and Fan 1 or any other fan number you like (up to the maximum allowed) as the hotend fan.

GrahamExp

@dc42 so like this?
; Fans
M950 F0 C"out8" Q0 ; create fan 0 on pin out7 and set its frequency - Part Cooling Fan
M106 P0 S0 H-1 ; set fan 0 value. Thermostatic control is turned off
M950 F1 C"out7" Q500 ; create fan 1 on pin out8 and set its frequency - Hotend Cooling Fan
M106 P1 S1 T45 H1 ; set fan 1 value. Thermostatic control is turned on

GrahamExp

@grahamexp So what happens now is that the hot end fan (fan 1) starts up at 45 degrees but as soon as the printing begins it switches off again. Part cooling fan is now fan 0.

SIam

@grahamexp said in Hot end fan switches off at the start of the print.:

M107

look at your start g code you have a m170 some wehre and this switch off your fan

GrahamExp

@siam M107 or M170? I see M107 not M170

SIam

@grahamexp
I mean this:

;LAYER:0
M107
G0 F1800 X129.314 Y111.721 Z0.3

Somewhere in your slicer will add this and this switch your fan off

M107: Fan Off

Deprecated in RepRapFirmware. Use M106 S0 instead.

Note that M107 will turn off the print cooling fan(s) associated with the current tool (see the F parameter in the M563 command).

GrahamExp

@siam I see it, so how do I stop this from happening?

GrahamExp

@grahamexp OK but that is the current tool fan and it set to be using tool 0 the hot end fan is set to be fan 1 so it should then not be affected, right?

SIam

@grahamexp mmmhh I understand this so that this is the hot end cooler

dc42

@grahamexp that looks better. Now please post your complete config.g file.

GrahamExp

@siam yes corect I want it always on .. or at least on as soon as it reached 45 deg. It should not be affected by the g code at all in preference. like on the older duet 2 board you had those always on fan pins.

@grahamexp said in Hot end fan switches off at the start of the print.:

; Tools
M563 P0 D0 H1 F0:1 ; define tool 0

You've got both fan0 and fan1 assigned to tool0 as the part cooling fan.

Change F0:1 to be F0
