Fan , what is standard?

Basic Information:

Printer Model: GeeeTech A10T
MCU / Printerboard: GT2560 V4.1B
klippy.log

Fill out above information and in all cases attach your klippy.log file (use zip to compress it, if too big). Pasting your printer.cfg is not needed
Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there

Describe your issue:

Not really an issue, more a question…

I have made the printer.cfg file by myself… and it works… but I saw 1 fan, the small one that cools the print… (so nog the bigger one that cools the hotend) , so the small one is not run…

so now I found the I/O …

but how is it normally work?
I also found this :slight_smile:

Did you read:
https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html#fans

The coldend fan cooling the heatsink of the hotend is typically temperature triggered and runs as soon as the hotend heats up and after a print/heating session until the temp is below 50 °C.
So you should see the sub category:
https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html#heater_fan

[heater_fan coldend_fan]
pin: PH5

Rest can be kept by its defaults (can be omitted in the config).
However I’m not sure whether your board supports hardware PWM or not.
So test it with

hardware_pwm: False

or

hardware_pwm: True
