Shorted and burned the print fan. Any diy suggestions for replacement?
Ok. So I got my i3-kit early this week and everything went really smoothly and I even got some pretty ok prints done. However I was too exited to actually check if the print fan was running and due to poor lighting didn't actually notice that it wasn't until today when I was ripping my hair out to solve the problem with bad overhangs on prints.
So, the print fan wasn't working but it felt warm/hot and I checked the connection from the instructions and realized that the connector was the wrong way around. Turned it around and tried the fan. Nothing. It kinda smells like burned so I'm pretty sure I burned the motor when it was shorted for a long time and lots of prints.
Well, the print fan seems to be "custom" made in china and has an integrated cover+duct. Didn't see any for sale separately in the shop either.
So any suggestions how to make a replacement from easily available fans and such?

Or search eBay for a 50mm radial fan. Plenty about.
