Fans not working
-
@dc42 So now that I physically moved the fan to P2, I read an article you wrote, that stated the that P2 would operate with the slide control. I may use P1 as an always on fan in the case to keep the duet wifi board cool, if you recommend it. Is there a command I can implement that will turn on the fan as directed by the slicer? When I print in PLA from simplify 3d, I set it to turn fan on at 100%, after layer 3, but for some reason, the fan kicks on automatically when the hot end reaches 45C, which is what it is in the config.g ; inadvertently, when printing ABS, in the slicer, I have stated no FAN, but once again the fan cuts on at 45C. In a nut shell, is there a command line that makes it follow the slicer, as opposed to the config.g (without taking anything out of it) thank you so much for your help.

You can use the F parameter in the M563 tool definition command to specify which fan is to be the print cooling fan.

@dc42 Just to be clear then, it should look something like this? I added M563 F2; is that correct? Will the S3D slicer recognize this for ABS & PLA, ABS off & PLA on, when set in the settings or does it have to be implemented within the start code? Also in my fan section I had the change the P1 to P3 for the fan controller to be operated with the slider, is that correct. I may need to leave it alone, since I am not 100% certain and manually do it, but the configuration does make it easier to do. Thanks again.

M563 P0 D0 H1 F0 ; Define tool 0
M563 P0 D0 H1 F2 T45 ; Used for parts cooling fanNo, you need to use a single M563 command: M563 P0 D0 H1 F2 ; Define tool 0
M106 P3 S1 I0 F500 H1 T45 ; Set fan 3 (hotend) value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned on.
You don't have a Fan 3 unless you have a DueX2 or DueX5 connected.
