Note:
Only one Asteroid tool head can be tested at a time.
The square fan should always be on while the printer is on. After selecting a print the blower fan should kick in briefly and the tool head should start to heat up. Once the tool head heats up the motor will cycle. After that the blower fan will turn on to cool down the tool head. .
