Feature Request: Fan Pulse Mode
May 01, 2013 04:24AM
Rather than adjust the fan PWM, as some fans don't support this well, use a pulse mode either short pulses at the beginning of a layer, or at regular intervals. Every n layers might work too. I have tried this manually on my Solidoodle 2 and found it to work very well at improving print quality, but is tedious.

You might change the PWM pulse duration in your firmware, this would have the same effect

Tried looking into this, but couldn't find info on how to do it. Any links to what setting to change?

Depents on your Firmware, e. g. for Repetier [github.com] whis is where the S-value from pwm_pos[3] (if you use 1 extruder) to create the pwm signal,
maybe asking someone from the firmware section
