CubeX PLA fans not running?

Hi,

running Kisslicer/Cubeitmod and trying out PLA. The fans are not running so the PLA gets a bit burnt. I see the fan g-gode is checked in Kisslicer.

Any ideas appriciated!

Have you verified the fans are working?
Press "PJ-CONN" the fans should turn on.

Good call thanks!

They do work, but there is a Code 13 error present when I try the PJ-Con. Then the fans spin. So code 13..hmm..

If you set "Fan Z = 0 " the fan will start from first layer, if you set FanZ =0.4 and you have 0.2 for layer thickness the fan will not work for the first 2 layers and after the fan will be turned on.
