For those looking at powering hobby electronics or moding your printer to accept a 12-volt fan to replace a 24-volt fan ... you're likely going to use a buck converter, and you may well want to place that in housing to make sure you have no shorts (and to make sure that it does not get knocked around).

This housing for the LM2596 type converter features ;

-Top and bottom ventilation
-View of the direction-of-operation indicator
-Access to the potentiometer adjuster
-View of the operation-indication LED
-Access for +/- terminals at each end
-Side latches

See the video below for a mounting demo. Feel free to add screw-down tabs or modify/reshare/distribute however you want. The original BLEND file is attached also (finally I produced a BLEND without embarrassing topography! :D )

Rock On!
