Active Cooling System Lack Enclosure

Hi!

I’ve recently finished one of my first Arduino projects. It is an active cooling system for the Lack enclosure.

The position of the air vent deflectors is electronically controlled (inspired by an AC unit). The speed of the fan can also be adjusted via a servo and a power supply board.

It has a manual mode to manually select the fan speed and the position/angle of the vents. It also has an automatic mode in which it automatically maintains the selected temperature by the user on the panel.

Components used:

• Temperature sensor (the black thing sticking out) 
• 120mm Diameter 12V Noctua fan 
• Arduino nano 
• 2 servos
• Potentiometers, leds...
• A bunch of parts I designed on tinkercad (I’m currently learning fusion 360)
• M3 screws and wood countersink/flat screws

It’s still a work in progress, especially the electronics (not too happy with it), cabling and code but I just wanted to share it. The project was worth doing and i've learnt quite a lot.

Any advice is appreciated.
