Enclosure: Breathing mask for the PSU?
If I make my custom enclosure, rather than go the hassle of dismounting the PSU, would it be possible to put on the PSU a sort of 'breathing mask', with hoses for air in and out? The enclosure will be located next to the manifold of the house mechanical ventilation system, a fan running 24/7, so air circulation can be guaranteed.
Do you know of anyone doing this before? Is there a template design of such a mask?
RE:
I have not seen a cooling project for the PSU, There is one of the Buddy board. See theMK4 board cooling for a Lack or custom enclosure and the remix for details on using it in a Prusa Enclosure.
Mounting the PSU outside the enclosure I believe is simpler than other options. I would recommend adding a quick disconnect. I used Deutsch 8 Pin Connector Kit with 16 AWG wire. Just have to solder and tape 14 joints. I leave out the weatherproofing seal so it is easier to disconnect.
Open the picture to see it all.
