Bambu A1 Cooling Fix You NEED for Enclosures – Easy Mod Guide

Video Description

⚠️ Running your Bambu Lab A1 inside an enclosure? Then you need to watch this! In this video, I show you how to add essential cooling to the A1 motherboard, something Bambu surprisingly left out on this model — unlike the A1 Mini. I walk through the full mod process, including: ✅ 3D printing a custom fan mount ✅ Using SolidWorks to design a perfect shim adapter ✅ Choosing the right 40mm 5V USB fan ✅ Step-by-step installation and cable management tips ✅ Why airflow is critical in enclosed setups 💨 This upgrade is perfect if you're printing in an enclosure for VOC control, pet safety, or better print consistency — all without risking an overheated motherboard. ⚙️ STL files and Amazon links are in the description below so you can replicate this setup easily. And yes — you can power this off a USB port. No wiring hacks needed! 💬 Drop a comment if you’ve tried this mod or built your own — and don’t forget to hit like and subscribe if you found it helpful. 📦 Parts & Links Mentioned: 🔗Bambu Lab Maker World Link https://makerworld.com/en/models/1244731-bambu-lab-a1-motherboard-cooling-fan-12v-bracket#profileId-1265936 🌀 Noctua NF-A4x20 5V, 3-Pin Premium Quiet Fan (40mm, Brown) https://amzn.to/4hHMD2j 🧩 2pcs USB to 3Pin/4Pin PWM 5V USB Fan Power Adapter Cable with Switch, USB to 3pin/4pin Fan Adapter Cable with On/Off Switch https://amzn.to/4iRwqZs 🧩USB 3.0 Extension Cable 5Ft https://amzn.to/4iRwuZc ❤ Your donations help me create great content! ❤ https://ko-fi.com/wherenerdyiscool or https://buymeacoffee.com/wherenerdyiscool 🛒 Affiliate Links that help my channel & Coupon Codes!
