Default Re: A thought about fans...

Calculate the volume of your oven. Moving that volume once per minute is more than enough. Half that would be better. WxDxH/2= CFM for the fan. (or nearest rating.) If you go too high, it will also diminish the effectiveness of your heating coils and raise heat-up times. In this case, more is not better. Also, any dust in your oven will be spread over your parts during curing if the fan is blowing too high a volume.
