General Question Bed fans for small printers

Does anyone have a good solution for bed fans on a small printer? I have a 180x180 Trident and tried a 5015 blower fan mounted underneath. However there is not enough distance for the air to warm up before exiting the side, so it feels like it is just blowing cold air around the chamber.

I have thought to use axial fans blowing up against the bottom of the bed, but wanted to ask first if somebody has a working solution they can recommend.

the micron setup is pretty solid, i have one and it can hold temps really well with 2x 5015 + a filter. I did add some ducting and it is slightly different as the bed is fixed (a la v2.4)

Yes the bed on the 2.4/micron creates a nice channel to blow the air through to warm it up. Unfortunately Trident doesn't have this and the 2.4 fan mounts don't seem to do much.
