Source of aftermarket cooling fan?

My cooling fan is rattling on my MK3 and I want to change it.

I can obviously get one from Prusa, but the shipping costs make this expensive.

There are loads of fans on eBay but they are all 2 wire so have no speed sensing.

Has anyone found an aftermarket source of a fan, or do I have to just bite the bullet and buy from Prusa?

Don't know where you are located but Farnell is where I've found replacements for other brands.

Sorry.. I should have said UK.. So Farnell (CPC) is an option.... I have found one at Digitech but its the same price as Prusa+Shipping... I will check Farnell and see what they have.. Cheers.

Dont know how it compares for CFM and static pressure to the original but I found this https://hobby-store.co.uk/fans/blower-5015-50x50x15mm-5v-pwm.html

RE:

That is first class.. ANd only £2.... But even thoguht it implies that its the UK, shipping is £16.. So more expensive than Prusa.

I think I am just going to place an order with Prusa and buy some more spares at the same time to make shipping cost effective.

Edit: Just realised its 5V too.. We need 24v don't we?
