Jim, First of all thanks for sharing so much knowledge and information! I notice herre on your fume extraction hoses, one goes right down in front of the extruder head. Doesnt this affect the local temperature? I have read where some people enclose their machines to keep heat in. Your opinion or workaround? Is there anywhere I can get any particular information on your heated beds build? That is my next project. Again Thanks, Great Work!

This does not affect the local temperature as its suction is not high enough to make any sort of impact. But it is high enough to remove the fumes.
