QUOTE(nitehawk @ Jan 7 2022, 11:28 AM) i stick on the back of the router, also its best if you can stick the dust filler as well. As for the airflow direction, there is a debate whether it should be in or out, and for me it really doesn't matter as long as you can have an air circulation inside the case. |

The one shown in the picture is air suck in = the circle double sided sticker is on the 'BOSSTOP' label.If I want to suck air out, where do I place the double-sided tape? Air suck out, I believe you can't put the double sided sticker on the fan centre (spinning part, unlike the label on the other side, which is fixed), so you may need to put the double sided tape on the fan frame, or maybe glue. I set the fan to suck air in but once in a while I check the dust level and vacuum out if required. |
