3.4. EXPERT MODE
Figure 3.35: Cooling advanced settings.
• Fan speed - Determines the minimum and maximum speeds - useful
for fans that run too fast by default.
• Bridges fan speed - As the material stretches over wide gaps, it
makes sense to try and cool it as much as possible, therefore a full fan
speed is recommended.
• Disable fan for first x layers - Section 3.3 detailed how im-
portant the first layer is, and so it makes sense not to apply the fan
until sure the print is securely attached to the bed. Keeping the fan
turned off for the first two or three layers is a good idea.
• Keep fan always on - Overrides any other choices and has the fan
run continuously, at least at the minimum speed setting. This can be
useful when printing with PLA, but is not recommended for ABS.
• Enable fan if print time is below t seconds - Triggers the
fan if the layer will be completed within the given number of seconds.
• Slow down if layer print time is below t seconds - Slows
down the print if the layer will be completed within the given number
of seconds.
• Min print speed - A lower limit on how slowly a layer can be printed.
