In my Ikea LAGKAPTEN / ALEX desk drawer I have my work laptop and docking station with cable management coming out the back of the desk. I noticed when the drawer was closed the heat from the laptop and docking station would cause the laptop to thermal throttle. I've designed this so I can close the drawer and still allow good airflow through the drawer. I have included mounts to be able to mount 2 x 50mm PC fans (I just used cheap USB ones from Temu) to actively exhaust the hot air out the drawer. I have designed the holes for the fan to use M3 heat inserts and M3 screws however if you don't have a soldering iron you can screw an M4 screw directly into the plastic (should you want the fans). The wooden dowel and screw which comes with the Alex drawer attaches directly to the model (the screw just screws tightly into the plastic). The second plate includes a triangular insert which further attaches the two sides together (already 3 joining pins) to make the model more rigid whe
