PrusaSlicer not turning fan on for normal layers
Hello,
Just as the title says, Prusaslicer (2.6.0) is not turning the fan on in gcode for anything other than small layers and bridges. See the snip of my settings attached. I know the fan works, since I recently switched over from Cura and I am running a print now where I told the printer to turn the fan on at 40% via the LCD screen. When I issued the command from the screen, the cooling fans spun up. For some reason PrusaSlicer just is not generating the code to turn on the fans at layer 2 like it should and I have no idea why. Any ideas?

Without a project file it’s impossible to say for certain but from your screen cap - Tick keep fan always on.
If you read the description below those tickboxes then if the layer takes longer than 60s to print then the fan will be off. That description is telling you the exact logic used.

I suppose I was just having difficulty "translating " my intent to PrusaSlicer. I wanted to ramp up the fan from zero at the first layer to 100% after 3 layers. But now that you mentioned the "keep fan always on" setting I understand that I just have to set the minimum fan speed to 100% and the "full fan speed at layer" setting to 4. Thanks for the help!
