Modifier for part cooling fan

Is there a way to add a modifier for changing the fan setting for a particular part of the model as can be done with modifiers for other settings?

Simple answer is no.

Its already a feature request on github though https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/3635 so you might want to go post on it to also ask for it.  Developer resource is always a limiting factor so the more people that want something the higher a chance it has of getting done.

Even Super Slicer which has many more options that you can add to modifiers doesn't have fan speed as yet, although the request has been made for fan based on height range modifiers there too.

The first thing that comes to my mind (PS 2.2.0):

Try to do it this way:

select the desired speed (M106 S...) at the layer of your choice and reset it at the next desired layer. However, it is possible that the Slicer fan settings may overwrite the values, e.g. the bridging values.

Yeah that will work to change it at a level until the next speed change (if there are any) but it wont allow you to differentiate by anything other than height.  Depending on model though that might be enough.  Without knowing the OP's intended use though......

It'd be nice if there was more settings that could be controlled with part modifying volumes, including layer height, fan speed, etc. This lack of functionality is disappointing.
