Cooling tab

Auto cooling for layers below set time not calculating layer times accurately.

Re: Cooling tab

It seemed to be working from my tests. Can you post more specific details? It might help to include a factory file and show the exact lines in the gcode file you think are wrong, and what you expected them to be.

Re: Cooling tab

In the attached factory files, the one with a single pair never turns on the cooling fan and the layers are very fast, maybe 3 to 5 seconds each, and ironically, the factory file with four pairs of parts puts the cooling fan on 50% (after the first 10 layers are complete) and the layers are still well above 20 seconds each.

Re: Cooling tab

I think the reason the fan never comes on for the single pair, is because the m106 command is inserted prior to the call to the start_print macro in my scripts. I think S3D should place an initial call to the cooling fan (for auto cooling) after all initial user starting scripts, not before.

Re: Cooling tab

Typically, if you want to set the fan speed manually in the starting script or control exactly where that command is placed, then you would use the [fan_speed_pwm] placeholder variable. That stops the software from adding its own commands afterwards.
