Fan Speed

Fan Speed refers to the rate at which the cooling fan operates during the 3D printing process. It is typically expressed as a percentage of the fan's maximum speed and is crucial for controlling the cooling rate of the printed material, affecting layer adhesion and surface finish.

Recommended values: Adjust fan speed based on material type and print settings. For PLA, a fan speed of 100% is often recommended, while for ABS, lower speeds or even turning the fan off might be preferable to prevent warping.
