Topic: solidoodle 2 and e3d v6 fan?

So I've got my new e3d v6 all ready to go, however I'm not really sure where the fan leads go on the control board.  I'm also using a raspberry pi as a print server so I could possibly use it's GPIO, however the fan requires 12v.  So to people with v6's where did you connect you fan?

They go to any always-on source of 12 volts, like your power supply.

I have a v5, but same idea - I spliced my fan to the extruder fan: it's 12V and always on, and saves running more cables down the trunk.
