Question about PETG and Advanced Filter

Hello. I typically print in PLA. But I bought some PETG and I recently installed the advanced air filter.

My settings for the filter are set to "AUTO".

I am watching my print, and while I feel the air blowing out of the advanced filter (I presume using the internal fan on that) the two fans inside the chamber that feed the filter are not blowing. Is this normal? Or are there settings I need to change in Prusa Slicer?

I ask because there are still quite the odors. And that makes me very nervous. Fortunately, it's in the garage. But still.

Dry PETG shouldn't generate dangerous amounts of VOCs or particles.  If you can smell it you probably need to dry it more.

Cheerio,

RE: Question about PETG and Advanced Filter

The two fans are no longer being used so that's normal.
