I'm having an issue where my part cooling fan, which is on "Fan0" per some of the recommendation I've seen, now doesn't behave as expected. I've read that the fan mosfet can fail and cause issues, but can it fail "on"?
The extruder heatsink fan is set on one of the "always on" IOs (I don't think I need to define it, if I'm using an always-on right?)

Old config lines were:

M950 F0 C"fan0" Q500                           ; create fan 0 on pin fan0 and set its frequency
M106 P0 S0 H-1                                 ; set fan 0 value. Thermostatic control is turned off
M950 F1 C"fan1" Q500                           ; create fan 1 on pin fan1 and set its frequency
M106 P1 S1 H1 T45                              ; set fan 1 value. Thermostatic control is turned on

New config lines

M950 F1 C"FAN1" Q500                            ; create part cooling fan on pin "fan1" and set its frequency
M106 P1 S0 C"Part_Cooling" H-1                  ; Thermostatic control is turned off

M950 F2 C"FAN2" Q500                            ; create case cooling on pin "fan2" and set its frequency
M106 P2 C"Case_Fan" S0.35 T40:65 H100:101:102   ; Thermostatic control turns fan 35% on when temp of mcu or stepper drivers is 40, ramps to 100% when temp rise to 65

It works fine now, but what kind of failure can cause the fan0 pin to be permanently on?
If I shift the current config to fan0 and fan1, the fan connected to fan0 stay permanently on.

@fcwilt I actually set all the probing move speed a lot lower when I wasn't printing a lot but it was apparent to some extent. I kinda just lived with it because it doesn't skip steps when the rods are clean and lubed. Also, things like the dive height also affected how quickly it would start to loose steps. A short dive height < 5mm worked better. And probing a single point was not as dramatic as multiple points. My max z-axis speed is probably somewhere between 600 and 700 mm/min, so depending on how much friction the threaded rods experienced, it would z probe fine or not.
I also only truly started to investigate when I started getting "motor phase may be disconnected errors".
I checked all the motor wires and found no issue there
Then I started visibly seeing step lost in Z. Plus I also wanted to probe faster and be hands-off as much as possible in the pre-print process.
Lessons learned:

• keep threaded rod lubricated (obviously)

• Read the fine print of my gcode commands and understand how they inter-relate

• give myself some room around the max limits of the machine in the config.

Thanks to you all for helping me learn a bit and solve this issue.
Thanks @dc42 for adding the note in the documentation.
@tekkydave I second having the z lift speed independent for probing.

@droftarts I'm on 3.2.
@tekkydave @fcwilt You're right actually, turns out I was doing it wrong. 700 mm/min is too much for my Z axis using 600 mm/min is working fine.

@fcwilt I have that, but I think it's ignoring it. Here is my config.g

@o_lampe It's not working completely as intended. Sure I can set the speeds to be different but what's happening is that I'm able to get the fast XY "T4000 "moves and when the bed lift to the probe it uses the good feed speed F600. But then when the bed pulls away from the probe, it uses the XY speed again.

@o_lampe Thanks, I'll try that.

@o_lampe Thanks this solved it, I can't believe I did not think of that. My only question is, how to do something similar for mesh conpensation moves? I came across M558, but I have firmware 3 and I don't think I can use that.

I have a DIY CoreXY printer with 3 independent Z-axes. My Z lead-screws are M10, and they move slower than XY axis. Thus, in my M558 command, I had to define a speed F500 so that the Z axis doesn't dive faster than the hardware can handle. But that also means that my XY moves are super slow. Is there a way to set different speeds for Z vs XY moves? Below is my bed.g file.

@jens55
Thanks, I'll dig around and rewire to try that.

I have a bunch of 24v fans that I want to use as a part cooling fan.
I tried using a buck converter to step up the voltage but it would not work. when I connect the converter alone to the 12v pwm, I can measure 24V out. but when I connect the fan, that drops to 1.8v. Is it even possible to do this in any way?
