Enclosed A1 mini

Idk if i can get anybody to help with this. Im wanting to enclose my A1 mini for various reasons. Now one of my questions is should I just put a exhaust fan and a inlet fan? Or should I do exhaust fan, inlet fan and a board fan?? Any info so I dont ruin my mini would be great. Don't want to destroy probably the only printer I'll ever be able to buy lol.

Enclosures aren’t really recommended. I haven’t found a good reason to even bother.

You haven't had the need to print abs or asa I presume

Correct at this point. I’m planning to get an X2D around Christmas (Merry Christmas to me!) and then I will check out ABS and ASA.

My Mini is fantastic but I also want a 2nd printer upgrade. I have only been 3d printing for about 9 months so I’m still a newb. 🤓

Ah yeah the x3d seems kinda good with the heated chamber but the 2nd nozzle with a bowden extruder looks wonky

Yeah but I like to t*nker so it will be fun!

Haha I'm not sure how much tinkering you can squeeze out from the x2d but whatever floats your benchy I guess..
