Trigorilla Controller Cover - Fan Control - Anycubic 4MAX

thingiverse

First of all: Huge thanks to crusty05's awesome cover design. # Fan Speed Controlling in LCD Marlin Settings I added 'controller fan' controls in settings menu, which adds a new menu item „Fan Controller“ in settings menu. Now you can set the auto power on mode, delay and also the fan speed. Configure it in your configuration USE_CONTROLLER_FAN. **The Used Fan is:** Noctua NF-R8 redux-1800 It fits perfectly to the cover and with the fan setting via the lcd menu you can control the speed of the Fan to reduce noise or maximize cooling effect. Here is the Configuration.h: /** * Controller Fan * To cool down stepper drivers and MOSFETs. * * The fan will turn on automatically whenever any stepper is enabled * and turn off after a set period after all steppers are turned off. */ #define USE_CONTROLLER_FAN #if ENABLED(USE_CONTROLLER_FAN) #define CONTROLLER_FAN_PIN 7 // Set a custom pin for the controller fan #define CONTROLLERFAN_SECS 60 // Duration in seconds for the fan to run after all motors are disabled #define CONTROLLERFAN_SPEED 170 // 255 == full speed #define CONTROLLER_FAN_MENU // Enables Controller FAN in Settings menu #endif Adaptable and mergeable Marlin-Commit-Diff can be found here: https://github.com/GeminiServer/Marlin/commit/a63acd09c4a20847458cb90e521aa9b8f88adc2b #### Update 2019-01-20-1910: `Controller fan` settings are now persisted on the eeprom. Don’t forget to reset your settings after uploading this image. There is currently no gcode support for controller fan settings. May be later. https://github.com/GeminiServer/Marlin/commit/425b35c3d6a4819739a62bdf1433d4dc912075ef #### Update 2019-01-30-0856: Controller FAN - Final EEPROM Settings with Idle Speed Support There are now 2 Options to define the Controller Fan Speed: First is the Idle fan speed, which will start the Fan at boot. The second is the Motorload fan speed, which will start when the motors are running. Both values are now separate configurable. https://github.com/GeminiServer/Marlin/commit/5d8c684d097b41f3406b49589cd59420c037aeff https://github.com/GeminiServer/Marlin/commit/4dc80b4ea4dd312827386b748a0e3910ff0d51f4
