Similar to the A1, I found out that the A1 Mini does not have active exhaust or intake fan cooling for internal circuits (motherboard, processor, power supply). So I wanted to create an adapter for a standard 40mm pc fan to mount up to the side of the printer to exhaust hot air. This part / mod is ideal for those using the A1 Mini in a non-climate controlled space such as an enclosure, garage, shed, basement, print farms, etc. However it can be used on any A1 Mini and in theory should help keep internal temperature low and decrease risk of failure due to heat build up.
Note: This is only for the A1 Mini not for the A1, If you own a A1 use this model instead.

Materials Needed to assemble:
Print and Assembly Notes:
Print Profile Notes:
Nozzle: Suggest 0.4mm nozzle for precision fit
Wall Loops: 5 wall loops on 0.4mm nozzle, 0.6mm nozzle not recommended due to decreased layer adhesion.

Infill: 30% gyroid
Brim: 5mm brim default
Material: PETG for Exhaust, PLA might be okay when used as intake, but suggest PETG for functional parts.
Color: Any
Print Orientation: Print on side.
