@Phaedrux so M106 P8 S1 should turn T3 part fan on right? If so it doesn't work. I am plugged right into the duex 5

Phaedrux

Send these in turn to test all the fans

M106 P1 S1 H-1
M106 P2 S1 H-1
M106 P3 S1 H-1
M106 P4 S1 H-1
M106 P5 S1 H-1
M106 P6 S1 H-1
M106 P7 S1 H-1
M106 P8 S1 H-1

P# addresses the fan
H-1 turns off thermostatic mode so they can be manually controlled.
S1 sets them to full power.

Phaedrux

can you snap a close up photo of the fan headers on the duex? Sometimes there is visible damage to the fan mosfets.

Ok, so please recap for me, since it's been a long thread.

When sending the fan commands I posted above, which fans do not work?

For the fans that do not work, you have tested the fans themselves in other working ports to confirm they actually work there?

rmilyard

@Phaedrux P106 commands for T1 and T3 don't work. All others do.

@rmilyard said in Part fans no spinning on T1 and T3 on new e3d Tool Changer:

M950 F1 C"fan1"
M950 F3 C"duex.fan3"

So fan1 is on the Duet and Fan3 is on the Duex. Correct?

@rmilyard So none of the T1 and T3 fans work? Not even hotend fan.

rmilyard

@Rushmere3D so think found issue. If I get the fans anywhere near the extruder the fan stops. I have not tried to steal washers and still doesn't work.

rmilyard

Fans need to be away from stepper almost half inche. Anything can think other than steel washers?

rmilyard

I have some zinc washers but ones I have are thick. Going order some from Amazon.

rmilyard

Thanks all for help! It was combo that my old harness had wire issue and these 2 fans needed zinc washer. Seems like fan working now.
