a part of the fan appears to be over the slot at the bottom of the printer, so seems it should be an extraction fan to prevent the motherboard from overheating. Not too effective though, given the placement and venting design. Need to have ducting above the board and redirecting the air to the slits, or add more slits under the fan IMO.

It's very oddly sited. Any idea what it's trying to accomplish?

Okay I'll check it out. Didn't realize there's room for a fan down there.

That sounds like a wire hitting the extraction fan near the motherboard. remove the two screws on the panel at the bottom and move the wires to the middle, making sure they can't dangle into the fan.

With in a couple minutes from powering on my Press is making these buzzing and clicking noise.
It's coming from the bottom where the motherboard is I think.

Check out the video I've attached.
