Thermostatic heater fan and Simplify3D

[audryhome]

I use a thermostatic Fan 1 for my heater, and nothing to cool part.

M106 P0 S1.0 I0 F500 H1 T45

The problem is S3D understand this fan as a part cooling fan.

As a result, it inserts M106 S0 at the beginning, because I specify no cooling.
This produces clogging, because excessive heating, and is risky also for wiring, 3D printed carriage, etc....

Only workaround is to specify 100% cooling, which is also risky for the part if I use later another fan for cooling.

Any idea to overcome this and avoid having extruder permanently cooled ? (noisy...).

Many thanks

According to your M106 command, you are using Fan 0 for the heatsink, not Fan 1. Preferably, use Fan 1 or Fan 2 instead. If you can't do that, add parameter F1 to each of your M563 commands, then the M106 S0 command sent by S3D will be redirected to fan 1 provided that you have a tool selected at the time.

Many thanks, works perfectly. Still learning gcode, but progressing....

Or you can go into the Firmware configuration in S3D and enter P1 into Fan Speed Control:
