Anyone know of a cheaper source for a clear 40mm fan? LED’s not necessary 
Given how I can get black ones for under $1, I was hoping there’d be a clear one for $1-2.
Paint the black ones with clear coat… ;p
82 cent euro

Dude… It’s $3…
When buying 100, I’d rather pay $1/ea versus $3/ea … but that’s me. I think Ray’s probably thinking the same thing.
@Ashley_M_Kirchner_No no one said he was buying 100 of them. The picture only shows one as well. If he had said 100, it would be a different story for sure.
I just want the one… and I can get a black one shipped for 77 cents. Can’t find a proper clear one without leds. See a disparity?
@Mauro_Manco the form of this one seems different (not a full body regular fan) but I will look into it. Thanks.
@raykholo go for http://www.tme.eu/sl/details/me40101vx-a99/ventilatorji-dc-12v/sunon/me40101vx-000u-a99/
@Mat_Helm smartarse!..LOL!
Forget about price, this thing will blow out everything you know about fans. Just FYI, if you need to drive it with PWM solder small electrolyte to the fan.
…is this fan being used for a hotend???..somewhere I saw that someone 3D printed a fan pressure booster, which has blades like a fan but the blades are fixed and goes between what you are cooling and the fan…prevents any backflow and increases the pressure!..good if you are pushing the air into any kind of channel or tube!
If this is a hotend heatsink fan, I wouldn’t trust a $1 fan to keep my house from burning down. If it’s a part-cooling fan, get yourself a radial blower instead 
@Ryan_Carlyle that’s what I did. The blower fan pushes WAY more air. I of course don’t use full speed but I have it there if I need it and I usually blow more air than my axial fans can push.
I’ve Gotten two of these out of one Kyocera copy machine fuser when the fuser is replaced!

I like the ones with white LEDs to light and cool the part. Any other color is just bad taste.
