Hello Everyone,

I just picked up my flash forge dreamer, and am in the process of setting up my first "complex" print in the idea of support material.
My intentions are to print the model in ABS and use PLA as my support material. What I am trying to figure out is how to turn on my cooling fan that blows on the tip and part only when I am printing with the left extruder T1 (The PLA) and have it off during the use of the right extruder T0 (ABS) I have done a bunch of searching but it doesn't seem that the search function on this forum works well as i just typed in dreamer and only found 2 results, where I found plenty more thumbing through page by page.

I did find one article about using the tool change script, but it was rather vague and the part I really wanted to know about (using arguments like IF THEN was just hinted at) But my thought was to use the IF then arguments at tool change to do something like:

IF New tool = T0 M6 s0
IF new tool = T1 M6 s100

but I am unsure of the format and how to call to the correct piece of data to determine T0 or T1 or if there is a better way?

I would appreciate any pointers with this!

Thanks in advanced!

There is also a good reference for the Dreamer gcode here: http://media.wix.com/ugd/6f131f_7ae9ca9 ... 7811e9.pdf

You can use the {IF NEWTOOL=*} stuff in your tool change script. For example:

{IF NEWTOOL=0}M106 ; enable fan
{IF NEWTOOL=1}M107 ; disable fan
