I would not try to throttle down the fan, it can have bad side effects. You want to keep the air warm inside, but not hot. The stepper motors and sliding blocks are sensitive to too much heat and can cause unwanted problems.
We have seen such problems when users tried to put the printer in self-made enclosures. So when you really want or need to throttle down the fan, be very careful about the inside temperature. I don't have it in my head right now, but I think 50°C is the max temperature which is considered to be safe.
Another Cura release has arrived and in this 5.8 beta release, the focus is on improving Z seams, as well as completing support for the full Method series of printers by introducing a profile for the UltiMaker Method.
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
