board-fan-cooling.cfg on repo config-xplus4

[budfox22]

On the macro "board-fan-cooling.cfg" in this repository, if I leave target_temp set to 65, during printing the X driver exceeds 100°C, even though I have an 80mm fan. This happens because the temperature of this driver is not taken into account.

I need to set the target_temp back to 45 (as it was previously set, before the update) to achieve the right balance, bringing all temperatures down and keeping the X driver at around 68–70°C.

in print-start-overhaul.cfg, the printer evaluates if the board fan config file is loaded, and if it is, switches it to 45C. There may be a bug in the detection, or in the setting, please check if the printer's board fan target switches to a lower target after a print is first started since last firmware restart/reboot.

Is it possible to add the x and y drivers temperatures in the sensor list?

The temperatures of the stepper drivers can only be read when the motors are active, which unfortunately means klipper exposes them as monitors and not sensors. The only major difference is that monitors cannot be used for anything in printer's logic, so while it'd be great to tie the fan to the stepper temp, klipper simply can't handle it due to the steppers dipping in and out of showing their temperatures.  S pozdravem - vega

Would it be possible to change the start-print-overhaul to have a target temp of 40 when printing and then go back to the default of 45 when not printing?
Edit: I ended up just creating an automation with Home Assistant that does what I want.
