Aux fan kicks in while printing ABS

I'm using Orca Slicer and set 0% aux fan in the filament settings but the aux fan kicks in 100% automaticly once a set temp exceeds.
It ruins the print because chamber temp goes too low.
What can i do ?
Also idk if its helpful, i can't see chamber temp on Orca Slicer.

Wtf is going on with the bed mesh on the K1 Max?

Hey everyone,

I recently started working with a Creality K1 Max, and since I had no prior experience with 3D printing, I've been learning everything on my own.

The previous employee made several modifications to the printer, but I don't know exactly what was changed. Everything was working fine at first, but recently the bed mesh has become extremely inconsistent (as shown in the picture).

I've also noticed some strange behavior during pre-print calibration. The nozzle sometimes scrapes against the build plate, leaving scratches, and occasionally the print head moves outside the printable area and starts hitting the side of the plate.

Could the bed mesh be causing these issues, or is something else going on? Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Any help would be appreciated!

Any idea how this extruder jam developed?

I'm really having trouble imaging how this occurred.

When I saw notification that the print had finished, I discovered that it had spent the last half . No blob on the nozzle. Tried to heat the nozzle and do a cold pull, zero movement. The filament had split into three as it exited the extruder (as shown in the simple illustration to clarify what the photos show), and of course the gears had ground it from there.

I'm trying to figure out how this happens when there's nothing else obviously wrong. If the filament's dimensions simply weren't consistent, then presumably it couldn't have made it this far. After clearing the jam, the repeat print went perfectly.

Any recommendations on alternate extruders for my K1 Max to prevent this?
