Hotend Fan not working on active Heater but on Standby Heater
-
Hi,
having trouble with the Hotend Fan.. it supposed to start at 45°C . its connected to Fan1 .
Heating up the Hotend to 50°C by setting it on Standby Temperature (50°C) starts the Fan by reaching 45°C , so that works perfectly.
But if i heat up the Hotend to 50°C by setting it on Active Temp (50°C) nothing happens..also higher Temps. makes no difference. Same behaviour if i start a Print and the Hotend heats up... the Fan is not working.Any Ideas?

@Ukunz said in Hotend Fan not working on active Heater but on Standby Heater:
M563 P0 D0 H2 F0
I think that should be F1. Activating the tool is turning off F1 and activating F0, which is the wrong fan.

Was that intentional?

I think F0 is correct, as it's specifying the part cooling fan, which would be F0.

@Phaedrux : I skipped heater 1 cause i use Extruder 0 for my second Z_Axis. So thought:
Bed - Heater 0,
Extruder 0 - Heater 1, <- not in use (U Axis-Second Z)
Extruder 1 - Heater2I now switched to:
Bed - Heater 0,
Extruder 1 - Heater1 - Tool 0Same behaviour: Temp readinga are fine; Fan1 spins up at 45°c when i set the target Temp to Standby 50°C, but Fan1 does nothing when i set target Temp to Active 100 °C or start a print Job and the Temp rises above the 45°C. But when I then cancel the Job the Fan immidiatly spins as long as the Temp is above 45°C. Strange

Also, what firmware version?

Ok i will try, thx for ur help
Here's what i read :
M122
=== Diagnostics ===
RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 Maestro version 2.05.1 running on Duet Maestro 1.0 -
It works.
i just copyed your P1 def. to my config.g ... that does the trick.
thank you very much for your helpRick

Ok, im Back.. theres still some strange behaviour. It Seems that the Fool Fan not run's as long as the target Temp isnt reached. Like M106 P1 S1 H1 T45 -> Tool fan should start at 45 °C but if Target Temp is set to 190°C it will not start unless roundabout 180°C are reached. I dont understand that behavior. Can somone explain that?

That's not right. I suspect a bad connection that fails at low temperatures, or a stuck fan. Try the following:
- Send M106 P1 and check that the response indicates the thermostatic temperature really is 45C
- Set the temperature to 50C or 60C so that the fan should be on. Assuming the fan doesn't turn on, send M108 P1 H-1 to disable thermostatic mode, and see if it turns on or not.

Your tool fan is fan 0, isnt it? Means part cooling fan and its controlled by gcode, not temperature. It will not run unless you command it ( or printing gcode does) to do so.

@aidar no my tool fan is on fan1 the part cooling fan is on fan0
-
@dc42 I will test this

Now we are messing with words here. Tool fan (what you define with M563) and part cooling fan is same thing, as long as you have one tool. So your tool fan is Fan 0, and Fan 1 is hotend cooling fan, witch is in your case thermostatically controlled and should go on if hotend temperature is above 45 C

first: 17:27:46
17:27:37
M106 P1
Fan 1 (Hotend Fan) pin: F1, frequency: 250Hz, speed: 100%, min: 10%, max: 100%, blip: 0.10, inverted: no, temperature: 45.0:45.0C, heaters: 1, current speed: 0%:ok thats whats happens:
Temp. of the Hotend is about 25° set the target Temp to active 130 temp reaches 80-90 still no fan on but:
17:27:50
M106 P1
Fan 1 (Hotend Fan) pin: F1, frequency: 250Hz, speed: 100%, min: 10%, max: 100%, blip: 0.10, inverted: no, temperature: 45.0:45.0C, heaters: 1, current speed: 100%:i send : 17:27:52
M108 P1 H-1fan still off
temp reaches 120 to 130° Fan comes on on Full speed

Oh Im so dumb... everything is fine now..
I switched + and Gnd from the heater ...and on the Anycubic there must be a connection from the gnd of the heater to the fan ground ... so as long as the heater is on full power there is no real ground for the fan (raised up)... as soon as the pid kicks in the ground comes lower and the fan works.
so i corrected + and ground of the heater and everything works as expected
Many thanks to all of you
Rick
