Anybody else have trouble with their print fan not working during prints?
I have the most bizarre issue. My print fan mid day today stopped working during prints. It passes the self test (and does spin up during selftest), but when I actually print it does not spin.
I have tried the gcode files that came with the printer, so I don't think it is slic3er. Updated to the latest firmware too.
Prusa is going to send me a new fan, but I am just trying to understand how it could malfunction in such a weird way. Anything I can try in the meantime while I wait for a new fan? It clearly works mechancally...
Re: Anybody else have trouble with their print fan not working during prints?
the wire can go intermittent due to repeated flexing,
set the fan running, then move the extruder from side to side, you may find that the fan stops or stutters towards
the right hand side!
if it stops, hold the extruder still, and wiggle the cable bundle behind the extruder, the fan may stop and start as the cables move...
