Fan speed to first layer

But l want to learn for fan speed adjustment.As with other slicing programs for first layer, second layer and third layer
how do i adjust the fan speed?

Hi!

Terribly sorry for the long wait!

You can set the fan speed on different logical levels:
- Slicing strategy
- Printer or its components
- Filament

Usually the filament is giving a fan speed requirement, so it you would like to quickly adjust it, open the Filament tab in Settings window, and scroll down on the right side so you will see the "Overrides" section.

Among the Overrides you most probably will see the "Fan speed" property set by the filament to a percentage. The filament has the highest priority, so if you set the fan speed on other levels, you will find a filament icon next to the property's name as a warning that it will do an override.

If you don't need the Override on filament level, you can remove it by clicking on the "chain-in-a-black-circle" icon next to the "Always evaluated" text to open the Binding Manager, then type "fan" into the search field to filter the list, and uncheck the box next to the "Fan speed".

You can use the Binding Manager to add/remove the properties you'd like to modify in different circumstances.

For example, if you would like to add some slicing rules about the fan speed for different layers, click on the "Add new Override" button, and in the Condition Manager popup check the box next to the "Layer index", then type the layer number (starting from zero) you'd like to set slicing rules for.

In your case there should be 3 separate Overrides added using the Layer index condition, set to 0, 1 and 2 to indicate the first three layers. Add the "Fan speed" for each of the Overrides, and this way you can set the fan speed to any number you'd like for the first 3 layers separately.
In the "Always evaluated" section you can have a generic fan speed as a fallback if no custom conditions are valid, for example on the 5th layer there is no Override, so this will be used.

Hope this helps!

The fan speed during the first layer of a 3D print is a critical factor to consider. It's usually recommended to keep the fan off or at a low speed for the initial layer. This helps the plastic adhere firmly to the print bed, ensuring a solid foundation for the rest of the print. Once the first layer is complete, increasing the fan speed can improve print quality and prevent issues like overheating and warping. Finding the right balance is key to achieving successful 3D prints. they are typically used for discounts on beauty and wellness services.

However, Craftware Pro does not have per-layer fan control in the GUI like Cura's layer-by-layer preview, so you’ll need to insert custom G-code for more specific control.

yep you're right

Wow, this is super helpful! I've been struggling with first layer adhesion. Gonna try these Craftware Pro settings and see if it fixes my warping issues. Fingers crossed! Typing Test klavye hız testi TM Copy Paste All Labubu Doll Series Blur Image Online

I'll guide you on adjusting fan speed for different layers in Craftware Pro. Here's how: Open Craftware Pro, then go to the "Print Settings" or "Advanced Settings" tab. To set fan speeds for specific layers, look for "Layer Settings" or "Per-Layer Settings". For the first layer, a low fan speed (0% - 20%) is usually recommended to help with adhesion. For the second and third layers, you can gradually increase it, say to 30% - 50%. The exact values depend on your material and desired print quality. You can also check the official documentation or tutorials of Craftware Pro for more detailed instructions to get the best results.

 

Great tip discovered in CraftBot forum—disable cooling fan for the first layer to improve adhesion, then ramp up speed later—first layer fan control is essential.
