Recently I bought a Mini-PC barebone based on an Intel N5105 SOC. It runs as a Home Lab virtualisation server. But lastly I got a message from the smart monitoring system, that the temperature of the NVMe SSD raised up to 94°C while running a backup! So I checked the system an found the SSD was running on 86 - 88°C on normal usage… way to high! So a cooling solution was needed. I found an old 12V PC fan 50x50x15mm. But there to get 12V? Is it really needed? No, the fan runs smooth and quiet on 5V. But the air flow of the fan has to be directed through the devices air vents:

So I decided to construct an fan duct to redirect the air flow. 

The fan duct redirect the most of the airflow through the Mini-PC, but a little flow will be redirected below the device to cool the bottom plate of the Mini-PC chassis. 
The left and right expansion of flat plate in front of the device is used to position the fan between the rubber feet of the Mini-PC so that the fan opening of the adapter fits exactly with the ventilation slots of the Mini-PC.

The whole fan duct is around 7mm highe than the Mini-PC chassis itself. And the fan running at 5V runs nearly silent if connected to on the devices USB port. Powering down the device will power off the fan too. That's what I wanted. Did it work? Oh, yes! It brought the temperature of the SSD from 86°C down to 56°C! I was really surprised.

Printing:

The first prototypes I printed with PLA with fan side laying down on build plate. This worked very well, with print speeds around 100mm/s and 0.16mm layer height. 

For the latest print I used ASA (better heat resistance) with the bottom on build plate (like the model above showed). I used supports but these were useless and it should print very well without supports, again with 100mm/s, 0.16mm layer height and 0.4 nozzle.
