Hey willnewton,
I mostly use Esun PetG, Maker Filament PetG (made in USA with good pricing), Taulman 645 and 910, Esun ePC, and both ninja flex and semi flex. I have found no need for running the fan with these materials. When I had the V3B, I had the fan mounted to the side blowing over the extruder stepper. The stepper runs warm, but not too hot, so I figured it couldn't hurt. It makes a nice compact package as well on the V4 with it mounted on the end. My customers typically like structural materials that can take outdoor exposure, so PLA never really worked out for me.
