I've designed a shroud that convert from the spindle top part to a standard fan, I have to print it and check if it does a powerful enough cooling ...

I was thinking of doing the same and would be interested in the outcome of your experiment and your drawing if your sharing after its success.
From what I can tell there is very little air movement form the built in impeller for cooling.
So is it more effective to draw air from the bottom to the top or vice versa?
