Modified Gcode to only run the cooling fan while the printer is running

it is possible to turn off the fan when printing is done
but the stepper motor current and its driver remain powered, it is 4 watts of extra idle power..
the options are motor and stepper off after print
OR the fan off after print
NOT BOTH.. that is really not optimal, just saying.

;¡¾Action after printing is completed¡¿
M8489 P3 ; action after printing is completed
        ; 0: Turn off all motors,
        ; 1: Does not work after printing,
        ; 2: After printing is completed, return to zero, the motor is not powered
        ; 3: After the printing is completed, it drops to the maximum stroke of Z, and the motor is continuously powered.

see, you want to drop to max Z height, and then power off the motor
when you are done printing.

Thats all great and all - but on my USB stick it has a Machine parameters.gcode file, and at the end of it it has :-

;°æAction after printing is completed°ø
M8489 P3 ; action after printing is completed
        ; 0: Turn off all motors,
        ; 1: Does not work after printing,
        ; 2: After printing is completed, return to zero, the motor is not powered
        ; 3: After the printing is completed, it drops to the maximum stroke of Z, and the motor is continuously powered.

And this file is from Elegoo on the USB stick - so I don't think it's a bug at all.
