xBuddy Box Ventilation
I have my mk4S in an enclosure. I have the power supply mounted outside of the enclosure to theoretically extend its life .
Does anyone add a fan to help ventilate the xBuddy box? Am I overthinking it? That tends to happen regularly.

I looked at that and it has me inspired to make a new cover with a 40mm fan setup at the bottom, and a simple vent at the top. The idea is to just have air moving through the box. I'm not doing super hi-temp printing. The thought is to make sure the box itself isn't soaking too much in it's own heat.

I made a cover plate that accepts a 40mm fan. I tapped into the printers 24v supply to run it. Moves a nice amount air.
