Fan Config Change - Toolhead
The Monolith toolhead uses the ducts as heatsinks, so to prevent heatcreep and increment the efficiency of the coldside it can be useful to have the part cooling fan always running at least at the minimum speed when the heater is on. This greatly helps with heatcreep prone materials, and it lets you print in hotter chambers without any fears…
