There is also a speed setting on the antec fan, you could try that switch, but it sounds like it might be bad or maybe the polarity is wrong.

I can't get this Antec fan to run that way.  The LEDs will turn on, but I can't get the fan to spin.  Does something need to be connected to the yellow wire on the fan?

It only takes a second to take them on and off anyhow

I'm gonna have to do something like this. Is the humidity bad in your area? Here in virginia this summer its been pretty humid. I've been thinking of getting a reusable silica gel dehumidifer and a cheap hydrometer to throw in the tuber-ware container that I'll be storing all my plastic in. I'm not sure if its worth it though.

http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s383/zimmer62/solidoodle/568c923c.jpg

It's a couple of closet shelf/rod brackets, 3/4 PVC

I have another piece of PVC wedged near the wall at the bottom of the bracket, I'm going to eyehooks in it at each spot for each spool

The filament feeds nicely behind that, and threaded through a hole in the right of the tool holder I have mounted, then into the printer
