Electronics box with a fan?

Hello,

I've just gotten my new Prusa printer and it works great, I'm very happy. I've talked to a couple of other owners in my area and they point out that the box containing the control electronics has limited ventilation (I agree) and should have better vents or a small fan. I tend to agree with this too. The controller seems to have spare output connectors so adding a fan to the electronics seems just a matter of firmware and adding a fan seems just a matter of designing a bigger box that includes a fan mount and some extra space so the air can circulate better.

Has someone done this or is it possible to get the original CAD files for this box and modify it?

Thanks!
