Enable cooling for specific set of layers

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to enable the auto cooling for a specific set of layers. 

I do have some filaments that require some amount of cooling for the overhangs mostly. The problem is that if I enable the cooling then some areas will suffer from layer separations or warping.

Thanks for your help.

Gcode will do this but you will have to tinker a little:

Thanks for the links. 

I wish this was possible from the slicer. 

Could have been nice to have this feature in PrusaSlicer instead of having to tweak the gcode.

Would be a nice feature, why don't you suggest it on GitHub?

Don't laugh 😅. I've seen many thread refering to GitHub or people talking about things available on GitHub but I never had a deep look. This is mainly because of the user interface (not intuitive IMO). It's probably time for me to start using that channel. 

Thanks.

I guess an in between solution is to use the Before layer change Custom G-Code with a conditional :

{if layer_num==xxx}insert_code_for_fan_speed_here{endif}
