New build but print fan is not working -- SOLVED
I finished my build and started doing the pre-flight checks.
In the video ( ) Josef shows how to trigger the print fan (Settings->Temperature->Fan Speed).
My fan does NOT turn on...
I checked the order of the wiring (red wire closest to thermistor as suggested in build instructions) and it is correct. Just to be sure I reversed the connector but it's not working either...
How can I check what is wrong here?
(1) I understand it's a 12V fan so can I connect it to anything else in order to ensure the fan works?
(2) On the other hand can I test if the board actually provides the required voltage to the fan? Can I use my multimeter to test if I get 12V DC over the pins when the fan should be spinning?
(3) Is this fan essential or can I proceed with the rest of the checks/calibration/print while I sort out the problem with this fan?
Re: New build but print fan is not working
Have you pressed the encoder's button after selecting the fan speed? sounds dumb but that happened to me, fan didn't spin but in the building tips video doesn't show the moment when the button is pressed.
Regards.

It works... 😀 and I feel like an idiot. 😳
My only excuse is that this is the very first time I used the menu... 
1000 x Thank You for your suggestion.
