Thanks for sharing this! Using with same board you have (SB2209 RP2040) and used the FAN/IND port as well. For others curious, this is a 3-pin PH2.0 header. I wired with positive on the top pin and negative on the bottom pin (controlled by GPIO6), with the middle pin empty.

I'm using it as a "temperature_fan" in Klipper with temp set at 55C, which means the fan comes on automatically when the CAN board reaches 55C.

Before this, the SB2209 board was running in the mid to high 70s (75-78C) or about 30C-ish over the chamber temps. Now running in the lower 60C range after a 3-hour print, so easily 10-15C difference. I love the use of a blower fan, as they are readily available in 24V varieties, and it makes for a compact/slim design. Nicely done!

for the fan connections to the ebb 2209 board, did you use the same ones as in this guide?

Did you use the BJT 2N2222A (NPN) Transistor to connect the fan?

Thank you so much. This both saved me money and a lot of time. My toolboard reached 87c before I decided to pause the print, cool the board, then resume print again to get this part finished. It topped at 70c now with fan and chamber temps was topping 56c.

Had to trim the stock TMC2209 heatsink a touch (using a Mellow SB2040 v2) but otherwise the fit is pretty good. And it blow directly onto the driver which is perfect. (edited)

Works with nitehawkSB, Quick print, No weird touchy interference with any of the electronics, Pushes good air. I just wired it up straight to the mainboard. Good enough for me!! Great job.

Been using it for a while. Chamber up to 60c mostly. Nitehawk hasn't passed 70c. Used to be around 80+ without fan. (edited)
