This is inspired by Noctua's NV-FS1 desk fan mount with some changes for 3D printing and practicality. 

 

Notes:

For my desk fan, I decided to use a USB step up converter to power the 12v fan and bought the airflow amplifier. Buying the airflow amplifier is not needed and can be printed since Noctua have published the files for it. I may redesign and add wire clips for the fan wire channel that goes under the base but for the time being, I have held it in by some UHMW tape and added circular stick-on feet. The desk fan can definitely be made a lot cheaper but mainly made this for fun and with things I had lying around :)

For the knobs, you may need to do some fitting or play with the scaling to make them work. You can also go without the knobs and use shorter length screws.

 

To finish the desk fan, you will need:

1x 120mm or 140mm computer fan

8x or 4x fan screws (depending on if you have the airflow amplifier or not)

6x M3 x 12mm screws (14mm may work but may need washers or play with z-scale of the knobs)

6x M3 heat set inserts (around 4-5mm in length, four for the base and two for the fan side pieces)

4x M3 washers (one in between the large nob and leg and one for between leg and part that mounts to the fan)

1x 120mm or 140mm fan grill (optional)

1x NV-AA1-12 airflow amplifier (optional, Noctua published this but also can be bought)

1x Noctua NA-FC1 (optional)

4x 8 x 2mm neodymium magnets (optional and are untested at the moment)

NOTE: Added thicker version of side supports for people that want it. You will need longer screws
