Part cooling fan blows on the hot block, causes clogging #3

Open garethky opened 3 years ago

garethky commented 3 years ago

The part cooling fan, currently in mainline, blows onto the hot block of the mosquito an causes a large temperature differential in the block. A heater tune in RRF with the part cooling fan at 100% will fail as the heater cannot keep the block hot. Its also possible to get filament clogging if the part cooling fan is used at too high of a setting.

A temporary part cooling fan is currently checked into the dev branch to alleviate this issue but its part cooling performance is far from optimized.

Some problems with the design:

The latest nozzle design has been performing well, printing nice test parts in PETG and PLA. I also don't have any issues tuning the heater with the fan running at 100%.
