Nozzle Fan not working

Post by Max_75 » Sun Nov 04, 2018 1:22 am

Hi,
the nozzle fan stopped working.
I tried also manually by the Control Menu in the controller, it doesn't switch on even if set to 100%.

I tried to connect the fan to the other connector (the one for the hot end body fan) and the fan rotates, so the problem is not the fan.

What should i check in to the controller to verify thet it is properly working?
Please could you provide some detailed pictures, as i am not very confident with electronics.

Thanks,

Since the fan works properly when plugged into the other port, the problem is likely the motherboard. If you set the fan speed to 100% on the first layer, in whatever slicer you are using, and then start a print, does it still not come on?

Hello.
:mrgreen:

You can use the Gcode M106 command to turn on the selected fan at any time.
Example:

Code: Select all

M106 P0 S255
M106 P1 S100
M106 P2 S200
For testing, you can try to turn off all fans using the Gcode M107 command.
Example:

Code: Select all

M107 P0
M107 P1
M107 P2
In special cases, you can use the command to switch on the fans - M106 with parameter S0. The fan will then be switched off.
Example:

Code: Select all

M106 S0
M106 P1 S0
M106 P2 S0

Parameters:

Pnnn Fan number (optional, defaults to 0)
Snnn Fan speed (0 to 255)
