Best air return method for hot room

Best air return method for hot room

Half of my house faces the north with barely any foliage or tree cover to deflect the sun after about 1pm. I have a hobby room that gets very warm from like a computer and 3D printer. The AC can be set to 72F but once the 93-100F afternoon temps hit, the AC maintains about 75F till the sun hits the tree tops. I have single pane windows in all the rooms of the house. The AC was full replaced around 2-3 years ago and attic reinsulated..

My question is how can I cool that room down more in the afternoons? Can I put a fan in the corner and have it blow air towards the door so that the return picks it up?

I'm looking for ideas without the need of adding another AC.

Picture shows hobby room circled with an arrow to the return. Compass on entry door floor to show how the house sits with the afternoon sun.
