Oh the difference a single fan makes! Both prints were done on the @HobbyKing Fabrikator Mini with the same gcode, but the right one had a 120mm fan blowing over the entire printer. The Fabrikator Mini does not have a part cooling fan, so this little detail makes a world of a difference!

@Branden_Coates exactly. The tiny NEMA14 motors don’t have a whole bunch of torque.

@Mark_Rehorst nope, but the fat heat break is wasting so much power already that the slight airflow from the big fan won’t make much of a difference
I usually cover my hotend heater blocks with silicone sealant as an insulator.
It seems to help stabilize hotend temps.
And I must again suggest that you try an aquarium airline pump instead of a fan for PLA cooling. It’s a far superior option.
Science experiments causes franken-benchy 
That fan is larger than the machine’s build table.
There’s feet for the Mini to cool down the electronics and steppers with a 120 fan on Thingiverse. Also different holders for fans for the build area.
I’ve got mine on a shelf I’ve made for it with a fan built into the shelf, keeps everything nice and cool. Even after trimming the drivers they get uncomfortably warm without it.
Did you mount the part cooling fan or is it free standing? I’ve thought about doing it myself, but would want to be able to control which layer to kick the fan on at to make sure it doesn’t cause the bottom layers to contract.
@Mr_Bonce for now, literally just sat on the table. But i will print a proper fan shroud for it (eventually)
