Comment on Am I building a fire hazard?

I’m not an expert here, but looking at the volume of the space, you’re probably going to be fine. Why don’t you add a small fan in the back of the enclosure to get some more airflow?

I’m new to this, but isn’t airflow a bad thing? Dust and uneven cooling of the build?

It’s bad for the print, but good for safety to prevent overheating. But since you don’t have a door, you should be fine.

Yeah like the other commenter says, bad to have direct airflow, but you can have a fan at the top circulating some air through the space

You don’t want to pull cold air in but a small fan to circulate the air in the enclosure gives you more even temps from top to bottom and can improve print quality. I installed a nevermore filter a while back to filter the filament fumes and was surprised to see my prints improve too.
