Feature request - Delay for fan

Is it possible to have the option for a delay to be inserted for the fan to get up to speed. When I am printing small bridges the fan does not have time to spin up to speed before the bridge has finished printing.

It would be possible using the G4 Dwell command.

Many thanks

Felix.

Pausing is an ooze-maker...

Yes if it pauses for too long it will ooze, I am only suggesting 1 - 2 seconds.

Why not instead have the fan turn on a certain amount of seconds before the bridge?

@dansxmods, that one I like better. A bit tricky code-wise, but it would be useful.
