I have recently built a prusa i3 clone and am just starting to print in abs. The issue I have is that in Slic3r I am turning the fan off, however at certain points in the print, the fan comes on at 100% and is actually cooling the hotend down to a point where the print is killed due to thermal runaway.
How do I ensure the part cooling fan does not come on at all....apart from actually unplugging it?

This is settings in your slicer... which you haven't mentioned
I thought I had turned the fan off in the slicer, in the Filament Settings tab. I unchecked both options in the Enable dialog box and it says that the fan will be turned off, but when I print, if there's a layer where there is bridging (usually just after an infill layer) then the fan comes on 100%.

I don't know if this issue is the cause, but I have attached photos of the print I am having trouble with the fan coming on.
Or would not having the printer in an enclosure be the issue?
