Print fan operation
Does the print fan operate all the time once the nozzle is hot? or just when required (really hot)? The hotend fan appears to operates starting at a certain nozzle temp. The print fan can be operated manually.

RE: Print fan operation
The part cooling fan is configured in the Cooling section of the slicer settings. It depends a lot on what type of material you’re printing. Some materials need a lot of cooling, some need nearly no cooling. Some are in the middle.
The hotend fan starts as soon as temp reaches some value, then stays on until cool below a certain value. If it didn’t do that you’d end up with heat creap, causing a very well clogged nozzle.
