Random layer fan startup
Posted: Fri May 02, 2014 9:27 pm
Using Repetier Host Mac V.56
So i've noticed on the last couple of prints, that my PLA layer fan will randomly start spinning. In Repetier I can see the fan speed slider bounce around while it's doing that. I have to click on the Fan On/OFF button to make it stop.
Can bad G-code cause the fan to start? If not, could it be that it's getting some weird interference which makes it start? I've looked to see if anything is shorting out and I can't see anything obvious. I spliced, soldered, and even put shrink wrap over the red and black wires individually to eliminate any possible shorting. Can this be a bug in Repetier perhaps?
