The depicted LiIon charger PCB fits in the bottom plug. For bigger TP4056 PCB allow more tube length and connect it to a micro USB socket on PCB, this latter fits in the bottom plug.

The preferred step-up PCB must be set to 12V by solder patches. The one with potentiometer must be set to 12V, then desolder the pot and replace it with a resistor of approx. the same value, pot is too big to fit in.

No aluminium tube(s) : replace the 22mm tube with 3D print, for the thick blower tube salvage metal plate from a soda can and form a tube. This must be heat-resistant.

Two 3D prints, one for 50x50x20 mm fan (preferred) and 40x40x20 mm.
