Your Avalon Q is dumping hot exhaust straight into your room, raising ambient inlet temps and quietly throttling performance before you ever check the dashboard. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud from CryptoCloaks is the direct fix: a precision-engineered PETG duct adapter that connects your miner’s rear exhaust to standard flex duct in under five minutes, with zero tools required.

What Is the Canaan Avalon Q Exhaust Shroud

The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is an in-house engineered duct adapter built specifically for the rear exhaust port of Canaan’s Avalon Q bitcoin miner. CryptoCloaks designed this part from scratch. It is the original shroud for this miner, not a copy of a competitor’s part or a scaled-up generic adapter. The shroud channels hot exhaust airflow directly into a 6-inch or 8-inch flex duct run, so you can push that heat outside, into a garage, or into a dedicated exhaust system.

Without a proper exhaust adapter, the Avalon Q pushes a high volume of hot air into the surrounding space. That heat recirculates as inlet air, raises operating temperatures, and forces the miner to work harder over time. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud creates a sealed, low-resistance exhaust path that keeps inlet temps stable and your miner running in its optimal thermal window.

Material selection is not an afterthought here. PLA softens at relatively low temperatures and can warp or deform when exposed to sustained hot exhaust from a running ASIC. PETG maintains structural integrity in exactly this kind of thermal environment. CryptoCloaks prints every Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud in PETG, not whatever thermoplastic is cheapest or easiest to run on a print farm.

Why CryptoCloaks

CryptoCloaks has been engineering bitcoin mining accessories since 2017. Ricky, the founder, personally designs, prints, and ships every order from his shop. When the Avalon Q reached the market, CryptoCloaks was the first to develop a dedicated exhaust shroud for it. That original design now carries 16 verified five-star reviews, with zero reported fitment issues or heat-related failures across all of them.

The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud mounts directly onto two existing rear screws on the Avalon Q chassis. No drilling. No adhesive. No modification to your hardware, period. If you need to service the miner or move it to a new location, the shroud comes off in seconds. This reversible, tool-free approach is deliberate: home miners need parts that adapt to their setup, not parts that permanently alter expensive equipment.

CryptoCloaks also offers a full catalog of home mining accessories for ASIC miners, so you can build out your entire home mining setup with parts sourced from one proven, bitcoin-native maker. Every product in the line ships from the same hands that engineered it.

How It Compares

The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is the originator in this product category. Some copies have appeared since CryptoCloaks released the design, and a DIY print file exists on Reddit. Here is a direct comparison of what each option actually delivers:

The DIY Reddit file option requires you to own a printer, source PETG correctly, dial in print settings for a functional fit, and do your own quality control. The competing commercial copy ships an unverified design with no public review history and no named maker behind it. The CryptoCloaks version ships tested, proven, and backed by 16 customers who have already run it on their hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this shroud fit both 6-inch and 8-inch flex duct?

Yes. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is offered in two distinct versions: one with a 6-inch outlet collar and one with an 8-inch outlet collar. You select your preferred duct size at checkout before adding to cart. Both versions share the same rear mounting interface and the same installation process, so the only practical difference between them is the collar diameter. Standard 6-inch and 8-inch flexible aluminum or insulated duct from any hardware store connects directly to the outlet without adapters. If you are unsure which size fits your setup, the 6-inch version suits most typical residential installs. The 8-inch version is the better choice for longer duct runs or where minimizing static pressure matters, since the larger diameter moves the same volume of air with less resistance.

How does the Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud attach, and does it require any drilling or tools?

The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud slips directly onto two existing rear screws on the Avalon Q chassis. No drilling, no adhesive, and no tools are required at any step of the installation. The mounting points are the factory screws already present on the back of the miner, so the install does not modify your hardware in any way. The full process takes under five minutes from opening the package to having your flex duct connected and secured. Removal is equally fast. Because the shroud leaves no permanent mark on the miner, it is safe to use on units still under warranty or units you plan to resell. This tool-free, reversible mounting approach reflects how CryptoCloaks designs every product in its mining accessories line.

Is PETG safe to use near the heat output of the Avalon Q?

PETG is specifically well suited to this application. The material has a glass transition temperature well above what the Avalon Q’s exhaust air reaches under normal operating conditions. PLA, by contrast, has a significantly lower glass transition temperature and can soften, deform, or warp when exposed to sustained hot exhaust airflow from a running ASIC. This is not a hypothetical risk: PLA parts have failed in similar applications, causing ducts to detach or seal poorly over time. CryptoCloaks uses PETG across its ASIC accessory line precisely because it holds its shape in thermal environments where PLA cannot. Every Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud that leaves CryptoCloaks is printed in PETG, not substituted with a cheaper filament to reduce production cost.

Pick your size, pick your color, and put your Avalon Q’s exhaust where it belongs: outside your room. The Canaan Avalon Q exhaust shroud is in stock, engineered by the team that built the original design, and ships direct from Ricky’s shop. Bitcoin accepted. Made in America. Ships in 2-3 business days.

S9 Bitcoin Space Heater Case: 3D Printed in America, Built to Heat Your Home

Your Antminer S9 is already dumping over 1,300 watts of heat into whatever room it sits in. The only question is whether that heat is working for you or just cooking your cables. The CryptoCloaks S9 bitcoin space heater case converts that industrial mining rig into a proper home heating unit, with heat-resistant PETG construction, custom color options no competitor can match, and a 30-page build guide that actually gets you there.

What Is the S9 Bitcoin Space Heater Case

The S9 bitcoin space heater case is a custom 3D printed enclosure built specifically to transform an Antminer S9 into a functional residential space heater. Instead of raw industrial exhaust blasting uncontrolled into your room, this case manages airflow directionally, reduces acoustic harshness, and gives the whole unit a form factor that belongs in a home rather than a shipping container farm.

CryptoCloaks prints every case from PETG filament. PETG handles the sustained thermal load an S9 generates without warping, cracking, or off-gassing. The case includes two 140mm to 120mm fan adapters (v2) and four mounting screws for the S9 base mount. You also choose between a grill or solid top panel design depending on your airflow and aesthetic preference.

This is not a file you download and print yourself, hoping the tolerances land right. Ricky designs, prints, and ships every S9 bitcoin space heater case from his shop in America. Every unit is checked before it ships. The fit is precise, the hardware is included, and the documentation covers every step of the build.

Why CryptoCloaks Builds a Better S9 Bitcoin Space Heater Case

CryptoCloaks has been in the bitcoin hardware space since 2017. That history shows up in the product. The 30-page community build guide included with every S9 bitcoin space heater case is not a quick-start card. It is a document built from years of community feedback, Reddit threads, and real installs. Buyers know exactly what they are getting into before they crack open the S9, and they have a resource that answers the real questions, not just the obvious ones.

Color is where CryptoCloaks separates from every competitor. Standard options are Black, White, Orange, and Yellow. If none of those fit your setup, CryptoCloaks sources custom PETG rolls and prints the top, body, and base in whatever color combination you specify independently. No other seller in this space offers a real custom filament program at this price point. Generic cases come in one color. CryptoCloaks comes in yours.

If you still need to source an Antminer S9, the CryptoCloaks partnership with Kaboomracks makes that simple. The S9 Bitcoin Space Heater Bundle with miner included gives you everything in one order. No separate sourcing, no compatibility guesswork. If you already have a miner sitting around, skip the bundle and grab the case on its own.

Specs and Compatibility

Every S9 bitcoin space heater case ships ready to build. Here is exactly what you get:

• Compatible miner: Antminer S9
• Weight: 96 oz
• Dimensions: 20 × 12 × 12 in
• Fan adapters: 2 × 140mm to 120mm v2
• Mounting screws: 4 × fan screws for S9 base mount
• Top panel designs: Grill or Solid
• Standard colors: Black, White, Orange, Yellow
• Custom colors: Available via custom PETG roll sourcing (contact before ordering)

This case fits the Antminer S9 specifically. It is not compatible with the S9i, S9j, S17, or S19 form factors. If you need a used S9 to pair with the case, you can buy a used Antminer S9 from Kaboom Racks, a reputable source for secondhand mining hardware. Reach out to CryptoCloaks if you have questions about board revision compatibility before you order.

How It Compares

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the S9 inside this case actually heat a room, and how many square feet will it cover?

Yes, it can. The Antminer S9 draws approximately 1,323 watts of power, and nearly all of that converts directly to heat output. That puts it on par with a mid-range electric space heater, which most manufacturers rate for rooms between 150 and 200 square feet. Your real-world coverage depends on insulation quality, ceiling height, ambient outdoor temperatures, and how well your room retains heat. The S9 bitcoin space heater case does not reduce the miner’s thermal output. It manages and directs airflow so the heat goes where you want it rather than radiating uncontrolled off the chassis. In a smaller, well-insulated room, you may need to crack a window even in winter. That is a good problem to have when your heater is also stacking sats.

Do I need to buy the Antminer S9 separately, or can I bundle it with the case?

Both options are available. The S9 bitcoin space heater case sells on its own for $149.99, and you source the miner independently. However, CryptoCloaks has a direct partnership with Kaboomracks, a reputable used mining hardware dealer, so you can bundle the case and the miner in a single transaction. The S9 Bitcoin Space Heater Bundle with miner included is the fastest path to a complete, working build. If you already own an S9 that is collecting dust or running in an unhoused setup, just order the case. If you are starting from scratch and need both, the bundle eliminates the separate sourcing step and the compatibility guesswork that comes with buying secondhand hardware on your own.

What custom color combinations are available, and how much does a custom PETG color add to the order?

Standard colors are Black, White, Orange, and Yellow, all available at the base price of $149.99. For custom colors, CryptoCloaks sources specific PETG rolls on a per-order basis. You can specify different colors for the top panel, the body, and the base independently, which opens up a wide range of two-tone and three-color combinations. Custom color pricing depends on filament sourcing costs and varies by request. Contact CryptoCloaks before placing your order to confirm what is in stock and what any additional cost would be. The S9 bitcoin space heater case stands apart from competitors here because custom color is a real, documented program, not a vague “contact us” footnote with no follow-through. Ricky sources the filament and prints your spec, not a generic approximation of it.

Ready to put that S9 to work heating your home? Order your S9 bitcoin space heater case today and Ricky will print and pack it personally. Bitcoin accepted. Made in America. Ships in 2-3 business days.
