How to enclose a buck converter in a battery box?

Was trying to make a 12v battery box on the cheap with a 18650 36v, 12ah battery pack I have.

I got a 20 amp buck converter, and realize this thing is going to get hot....I haven't tested how hot yet, but almost certainly too hot for a plastic box.

Is there anyway to safely enclose this? Or another way to step down?

Trying to avoid disassembling the battery pack.
 
Need to heatsink it, ideally in the airflow

or it won't even hit half its spec, nor last long
