extruder / part cooling Fan

recoush

today added the 2nd output for extruder 1 extruder 0 worked great (eventually add a 3rd extruder) (ramps 1.4)

think the heatbed mosfet was controlling the part / extruder fan. i could turn on or Off with the repetier firmware now with the configuration change of adding the 2nd extruder the fans stay on full.

Read some place here that this may be due to adding the 2nd extruder output (dont think that is what i want as each has it own cooling fan) But this was the fan control (in general) previously working.

How do i reset so this works (used the configurator o92.9 version with the config H (ps the one output controlled the part cooler and the fan for the extruder. had it set to come on 25% of the time and that worked great.

Also notice i don't have a heatbed slider anymore (this maybe related) seems to me i am missing or need to correct the line in configurator 092.9 someplace any ideas

not sure which portion of config h this is in, let me knwo and i can post :>)

thanks in advance

HEATER_2_PIN and FAN_PIN are identical for ramps 1.4. So if you now have a heater connected where previously the fan was, you need to connect fan to a adapter I guess. So now you need to set the fan pin to the pin of the adapter you use.

I am using a KFB2.0 3D printer controller board which is ramps 1.4 I was having the same issue for where I had to have my extruder 2 hooked to my fan port to use the second extruder. I have found out that if you change in pins.h for the ramps 1.3 where it says Heater_2_pin 9 to Heater_2_pin 7 then you can use the fan and the second heater they way it's suppose to work I was wondering if there is any way there can be a ramps 1.4 added to the pins.h with this change in it or atleast for the KFB2.0 board.

Did you check MPX3 board? I think there is one more output for fan. Guess it could be exactly that layout.

Good to Know thanks forgot what i did to fix my issue. but i did check mark another default in the configuration settings. now it seems to working like before think i used the heatbed output as the control point pin since no heat bed installed. when i switch to the radds i have to fix several pins due to several fubar thermistor inputs so that may have contribute when i set up the 3 extruders on one heater and Thermistor defaulting to zero which is really the heat bed thermistor input renumbered to zero :>)

Multi extruder with shared heater can also share the same thermistor input, also it makes no difference if you use fake or real sensor for them.
