Modified Gcode to only run the cooling fan while the printer is running - admin - 07-17-2019
This is a modified .gcode configuration file based off the original Mars mainboard configuration file.
The only thing this changes is the UV cooling fan so it only turns on while there is a print running and as soon as the print completes, the fan turns off.
Download the attachment and make sure to view the READ ME file for instructions

Also, here is a more modified gcode config file that sets the fan as above, but also slows down some basic movements when homing the build plate. It's also translated descriptions are in english

I was just wondering if this was possible the other day. Thanks!

Would it be possible to post a version of the gcode file that had the comments in English?
Tnx.

Tnx.

Can the M code just be updated to the g-code prefix section in ChiTuBox as well? (I would assume so, but...)
tnx.

Is having this file the only thing on the flash drive just a precaution, or are there actual consequences otherwise?

It's really just a precaution more then anything. It can be there with other print files.

looks like a fair bit of code in there when I try and open it in notepad. Will this get overwritten every time there is a firmware update, and does this write over anything except the fan?
Thanks!

No, this doesnt get overwritten with FW updates as it's a stand alone config file. Only thing this one changes is that the fan only runs while the printer is actively running a print, then shuts it off when the print is finished.
