1.17. COOL
1.17 Cool
This section will define how your extruder cooling fan will operate during
the print. Your fan will not start until it has reached 25% or higher for
speed settings. If your print speeds are slowed down due to minimal layer
time, the fan will run between minimum and maximum speed based upon
how much the layer is slowed down.
Fan on at Full Height
This is your Z height where your fan will be turned on to its minimum
percentage setting. Especially helpful with high temperature retaining
filaments such as PLA. This will be scaled between 0%, and your minimum
fan speed based upon layer height; with it being disabled for the first layer.
Fan Speed Min
This will be the speed your fan runs when enabled at full height. Once the
Z height is reached for Fan on at Full Height, this will be the speed your
fan runs at.
Fan Speed Max
This is the fastest speed at which your fan will ever run. When your print
speed is slowed down due to minimal layer time, your fan will run between
minimum and maximum speed. The maximum fan speed is reached when
your printer must be slowed by 50% or greater.
1.18 Support
You define how your support material is generated here. You must have
some form of support turned on in the basic settings in order for these
settings to have an effect.
Structure Type
You can choose between a Grid or a Line pattern for your support material.
The grid will be a checkerboard pattern in the X and Y direction. The
