Hi, just a quick question: I´ve got a temperature controlled Fan. It seems there is a dropdown being generated in the webinterface where ich can setupo the fan. But i want to get rid of the dropdown. Ist that possible? It´s the Stepper AB Fan.

I am using Mainsailos

But it's a klipper issue or Mainsail

#

I would say use klipper

MainsailOS is not controlling your fan

Moonraker doesn't control it too

#

Mainsail is only showing you stuff based on the klipper config

And what that fan should do

burnt creek
#

moonraker.log?

lament shadow
#

klipper

lament shadow
#

Also you are editing the printer.cfg and not moonraker.conf, so ofc it's not moonraker

#

Also fix your tags now and change them to klipper only

Sorry for that, but that stuff is not so easy to understand - i tried tro search but i simply didnt know for what to search. I changed the Tags

#

Btw, that is NOT a chamber fan, that fan is for cooling the AB Steppers which is not neccessary when the Chamber is open

#

There is a extra Sensor on the Motors

#

Chamber would be Enclosure at my Screenshot

#

Do you need to see that fan on the dashboard?

#

It's not possible to hide the dropdown as you can change the target temp like that. So you would want some kind of locking the sensor

#

But then it doesn't really make sense to show it at all.

#

So you can add a _ in front of the name to hide it completely

#

But why tracking it with the fan?

burnt creek
#

If i use the underscore Method the Temperature Reading is not displayed anymore, not only the Dropdown

lament shadow
#

Yes, as you hide the whole fan

#

But why are you using your fan to track the temp?

#

Maybe use a sensor, if you want to monitor temps

Or maybe I don't understand your use case

Okay, here the Use Case: The Stepper Fan should only Spin up when the Steppers reach 50°C - which is only the Case if the Enclosure is closed (e.g. while printing ABS). When the Enclosure is open and the Enclosure Fans are Spinning the Steppers wont reach 50°C - so the Fans are not needed. It is not neccesary to change the Spinup Temp on the Webinterface. And i want to Monitor Temps.

#

I will try out if it´s possible to use a Sensor Pin twice in the printer.cfg, but i doubt it

#

Okay, this does not work - as expected

#

Seems there is no way to archive what i want, but thank you anyway 🙂

#

I didn't know that the temp fan is also providing a tem curve, that was a bit dumb from my side. I thought there might be some similar syntax to the probe virtual endstop, but it doesn't seem like that

#

So sry for the wrong lead 😅
