Anywhere to get a y-splitter adapter for using two part cooling fans?

So I got a couple of part cooling fans as I want to install this mod on my MK3:

I realize that I can just splice the wires together, but I would love to be able to just use a y splitter adapter that fits the part cooling fans. I do not have a soldering iron or anything, and I never really have a need for one, so I would hate to have to buy one just for this tiny little project.

I thought that a normal computer fan y-splitter would work but the connection is quite a bit bigger than the part cooling fan's connector.

Does anyone know of a y-splitter adapter that would work with these fans?

You can get some molex 50-57 connectors and make one. That would be the easiest solution, though not cheapest as you’ll need a crimp tool. Useful though, as it means you can also build new cables for filament sensor. I’m redoing cables with silicone wiring for extra durability.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I really am just trying to find a y-splitter for this.
