    Right, That wouldn't fix the "problem" as you describe it. Most likely this was a first generation issue, and is no longer a problem. The fans were added for better PLA printing. The printer does fine with temps with the fans turned off, usually done for ABS printing. Again, no longer a problem and not worth mentioning any more. That statement you posted should stop being used.

    Actually fans do fix the "problem"... not the best way since it pulls in fresh outside ambient air to cool the chamber. Not a really good idea, but it was necessary since the printers were melting down and becoming serious fire hazards.

    The only real fix is to rewire the heater block thermocouples directly to the mainboard and bypass the junktion box...
