M106/7 P parameter & tool changes
-
Over in the Cura universe, someone has requested that the P parameter value (implicitly 0) can be specified for each extruder. Apparently some firmwares can be configured so that the print cooling fan can be different when different tools are selected and so the M106/7 P parameter never needs to be explicitly specified. Other firmwares don't have a means to assign different print cooling fans to different tools and so there it would be necessary to explicitly provide a P parameter to specify which fan should be controlled.
I guess the question I am asking is does RRF provide a means to associate print cooling fans to tools? If not, would anyone ever want this feature to be able to specify the P parameter value per extruder?

You can use M563 to associate fans to tools:

I believe you could just add the fan configuration in the tool change macro. That's the beauty of using gcodes to configure, you can change just about anything with a simple macro.

That's the answer, I think.
Thanks for the replies, folks.
