Print in two pieces.  Fan holder, and the surrounding clamp.  Easy to remix for your own fan sizes if you need.

Encountered several instabilities during the summer in my router / modem cabinet.  Figured it related to overheating, as the cabinet gets a little toasty during heat waves and no AC.  Forced air through the back of the unit seems to help.

Fun fact:  You can wire a simple old 80mm computer fan and wire 5V to a regular male USB connector and it will power it just fine.  I have mine plugged into an Asus router with plenty of 5V overhead.  One can use a separate wall charger, or go ahead and power the fan straight to any 12VDC power brick.

I just friction mounted mine.  I added a small piece of tape to prevent it from sliding down if bumped.
