This is a long shot, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
I'm just getting into printing with PLA on my 1.0, I've designed and printed a layer fan to combat part warping, I can control fan speed with a fan controller (installed a PC PSU, so no issues finding power).
What I'm curious about is this: is there an extra set of contacts on the board that could control an extra fan that I can solder to? And if there are, is it possible to control the fan speed through software (I'm using Simplify3D).
I just know, with using a fan controller I will forget to turn the layer-fan on/off when switching between ABS/PLA.
Any feedback or alternative suggestions are welcome.
Thank you,
Anton
