Hot End Jamming!
Re: Hot End Jamming!
I would spring for the multimeter w/ temp probe and verify your temp. Especially with PLA. And I would hardwire the PEEK fan to run 100% all the time. Don't forget to PID autotune if you do. Is it a stock hotend? If so maybe upgrade to the new nozzle. I think I read on here that it doesn't temp creep as much?

That's normal for fans, they aren't designed to be controlled by PWM signals, I've seen fans that will run at 20% but not start without going to 80%.jonyzdude wrote:I have found however that through manual control the fan will not run at 15%. once you turn it to 30-35% the fan starts moving!
Either way for PLA run it at 100% all the time, there really is no such thing as too much cooling with PLA as long as the hot-end can maintain temperature.

Re: Hot End Jamming!
If you followed the docs, the PEEK fan should be running at 100% for the length of the print run. 15% won't cut it.
If M42 P6 S255 doesn't turn the PEEK fan on, you've got it connected to the wrong output.

Re: Hot End Jamming!
I found out through trial and error that the photo shown in the instruction document was incorrect. The peak fan should have been plugged into Fan 0 on the RAMBO not Fan 1.
Re: Hot End Jamming!
Well considering I wrote the documentation, I know exactly what I specified and why. You're perfectly welcome to assemble it however you like, but don't come crying to me when it doesn't work. 
FAN 0 is for the layer fan, FAN 1 is for the PEEK fan.
