Hotend Fan Speed

Is it possible to change the Hotend Fan Speed via command line? I know this is not generally done but would like to reduce speed for a few seconds which doing a probe with the PZ Probe from E3D. My fan seems to cause a little disturbance from time to time when doing a mesh

There's not a way to do that via gcode

Are you talking about the fan that is cooling the hotend and prevents heat creep?

yes Dont was to totally switch off, but reduce speed to 50% while doing the mesh Think the resonance of the motor affects the Probing as when I dont have the fan connected, the probing works 100%

nozzle temp is in anycase only at 150 while doing the mesh

The firmware sets it and it stays at the set amount

I set the max power down and did a test and this worked, but cannot run at this low speed during the print
