PSU in Lack enclosure. Measured temps.

In long prints, I'm seeing the PSU reach 45-50C (at the case), which is outside the recommended temp for enclosures. This is in a makeshift enclosure made of plaskolite (I needed an enclosure to print ABS parts for an enclosure).

 

I'm curious as to present thinking on this. I think being able to easily remove the printer aids in maintenance. The Prusa PSU is about the nicest damn power supply I've ever seen, but they're 100 bucks. My thoughts are proceeding along the lines of leaving the PSU in, and then replacing it with a Meanwell (etc) if/when I kill it. It looks like I can just reuse the power panic board anyway.

 

What are your thoughts? Thanks.
