60 mm fan bracket
Stands a 60 mm fan upright on your desk or shelf, so you can aim a breeze or cool a board without screwing anything down. The fan sits against a plate with a round grille opening, and a small notch by the base holds the lead. Change the fan depth and the gap under it to match your fan.

How to print it
Parts
- bracket · PLA · Front (guard) face down on the bed, foot pointing up
No supports. The guard prints in the first layers, so it comes out flat and crisp.
Print settings
- Layer height
- 0.2 mm
- Walls
- 3
- Infill
- 15%
- Supports
- None
- Notes
- Textured or smooth PEI plate. The front face is the first layer, so a clean bed gives a nice finish.
Hardware
- 4 × M3 × 30–35 mm screws + nuts (or the fan's own self-tapping screws) · Go in from the front through the plate into the fan's corner holes
- 2 × M4 countersunk wood or machine screws · Optional, to fix the foot to a surface
Assembly
- Set the fan against the back of the plate with its label facing the plate (so it blows out the front).
- Put the 4 M3 screws in from the front and add the nuts on the back.
- Press the fan lead down into the slot on the left clip and run it out the back.
- Optional: screw the foot down with 2 M4 countersunk screws. They're behind the fan, so a screwdriver reaches them with the fan already fitted.
Good to know
- The cable clip's slot is a bit narrower than the lead on purpose (2.2 mm vs 2.6 mm), so the lead has to squeeze in. That squeeze is what keeps it from popping out. The automatic check flags it because it treats the lead as stiff. If your lead is a different thickness, change the Fan lead thickness s
- Where the curved fillet at the base of the plate ends there's a small sliver, but it's hidden behind the fan. PLA softens at around 55 °C, so print it in PETG if it'll sit somewhere hot.
