Ender 3v2 enclosure dilemma

I just got the Creality fabric enclosure for my Ender 3v2 to prevent failures to upcoming long 3d prints and I wonder if I must upgrade the cooling to the electronics of the printer. I use pla+ and abs at most so the temps shouldn't be too high to cause damage I hope. (I can't just take them out and leave them aside as I live in a small apartment and my girlfriend is already mad that I take a lot of space).

You're probably fine. I'd just try a long print and see if it runs into problems. If things are overheating, then you can just toss a case fan in

Just finished a 5 h print. Inside temps were 40 degrees C. The printer was a tad bit louder but all fine for now. Figure when I'll print abs I'll just half-open one of the side velcro  doors.

I regularly run longer ASA prints on my E3 S1Pro in an enclosure without issue.  I have considered putting heat sinks on the stepper motors but so far they seem totally fine.
