I received a few parts from AliExpress, which I need to complete the Marvin the Microparticle Machine Filter, and also the booster fan for the Bambu X1C. However, I did not get the blowers for the Marvin project yet (tracking shows they should be here any day now).
The booster fan parts however are mostly accounted for, and I may have some extras of what I need lying around to test that project (now I just need to print it :D).
I also received some self adhesive gasket material, which I used to help seal around the door on the X1C. It's not close to a perfect solution, and I know there are better ways to do this, but for now I think this will be OK. I had to stick it on with it hanging about half way over the edge of the glass, but least I can no longer see light through the edges of the door. Installation was a bit more difficult though, since it appears some lube must have wiped against the door sill at the bottom of the printer, so I had to clean that off before the stuff would stick. The seal is also not likely necessary since there are many other larger holes in the printer which need to be addressed, but I plan to work on that one problem at a time.

Update 9/21/2023: The fans finally arrived, and even better, they fit the design, so no major changes will be needed. I'm going to install everything and test it, before I can release "Marvin the Microparticle Machine" on Printables.
