Description
It looks like the back panel on the Flashforge AD5X is the same one as the AD5M. Although it has space for the filters and ports for ducting there is no duct work behind them. There is already a great model here for the recirculating fan so I just needed a small piece to extend the exhaust port to the rear vent holes while attaching a small fan. I just made the simplest piece possible, you just screw on a fan and shove the duct down on the posts. It works, it could be improved and probably will be eventually, but this at least moves the hot air out of the optional enclosure to keep PLA from overheating.
