Are there any options available for fresh air intake for the laser module fan in an S1?

I have a D1 Pro as well, along with its enclosure, and during its initial usage, I let the module's fan to use the air within the enclosure without realizing how it gunks up fan and the interior of the laser module (wiring, chip board, housing). This was with air-assist (doesn't help with fan's intake) and exhaust. I eventually used an after-market “hood” connected to fresh air outside the enclosure using a tubing and have greatly reduced the gunk up.

I am afraid my new S1's laser module will undergo the same challenge. I think the room above the laser module is quite limited, so I am not sure what accessories or aftermarket products are available to send fresh air to the laser module and fan.

Any insights?

I hope xTool comes up with a built-in solution to allow for fresh air intake, like the air-assist accompaniments.

I am also surprised that the S1's exhaust fan is not completely removable for proper cleaning. It is very hard to clean, especially the interior side of the fan.
