dual extruder heated bed and cooling fan?
August 06, 2014 05:36PM
I'm trying to run a cooling fan off a RAMPS 1.4 but the D8, D9, and D10 outputs are all full from the dual extruder and bed. Any ideas how to go about this? Then only way I can think of is having 12v run to the print head and then using logic from another pin on the ramps to switch it. I know I can grab 5v from the AUX pins but I don't know how to switch that.

Change FAN_PIN in pins.h to the pin you choose. You'll need a mosfet fan driver to switch it, like this (thingiverse).

If its a fan that you want on all the time, then wire it directly to 12V.
