Cooling fan at 3%

Post by 3Drasle »

Hello Forum

I need to set my cooling fan at 3% for printing PETG, but adjustment jump at 5% incremental.
Is there a way to get around that?

Best Regards
Michael

Fan speed steps are fixed at 5%.

The difference in air movement between 3% and 5% will be nothing. On many printers, the fan won't even spin at 5%.

Looking around, the recommended fan speed for PET-G is 30% to 60% (personally, I run 40% with 80% for unsupported paths).
