Description
This fan makes use of an inexpensive USB-powered fan that has speed control that you can get from Amazon (NOT an affiliate link!):

Print settings
Simply print the three files with the recommended settings and assemble!
No special settings are needed for the legs
I recommend 0.1mm layer height for the body and wing nuts
Keep the body in the orientation provided and use standard supports. Keeping the threads in contact with the build plate means no clean-up on those, giving you the best chance at success with threading the wing nuts
Assembly instructions
After printing all your parts, bring them all together
Take the two body pieces and place them on either side of the fan, ensuring the cutout is on the side that has the USB cable
Turn the fan on its side and place one of the legs around the post
While holding the leg with one hand, use the other to install a wingnut. It may be tight the first time
Once the first leg is in place, go to the other side and repeat the process for the other leg
With both wingnuts properly tightened, the legs should keep their position. Congratulations! You have a LittleFoot desktop fan!
Tips
Note that the wing nuts will be tight initially. Work them on and off gradually. If you need to, use a wrench or pliers to coax them on the first time - you can always print new wing nuts later. By working them on and off, the threads on the body of the fan will be smoothed.
