Anet A8 fan/extruder issue.

[Kyle M.]

Thanks. I've tried the fan as low as 25% with the same issue. I'm using a fully circular fan shroud off thingiverse. There's no restore factory defaults setting in my printers menu. There is a reset button on the main board but I think that that's more of an emergency stop. Can I just put M502 and M500 in a text file and run it on the printer or how do I do that? Maybe if I restore the defaults and set the max fan to 50% it will fix my problem. It's worth a try.

Are you printing using USB cable or the SD Card.

SD card should be a 2GB SD Card. A-Net A8 SD cards should be formatted to Fat 16 using SD Formatter.

"Was informed that in some cases the supplied A-Net A8 SD card was not compatible with the Controller."
Most of us have 2GB SD cards everywhere could not hurt to try a different SD Card formatted with SD Formatter.

I'm using a Samsung 16gb micro sd card that's been working fine. I never could get the included 8gb card to work right. It works in other devices but no matter how I format it the printer won't recognize it.

This will work only if your firmware included code for the M500 commands.
