I am not able for the heat at the moment, and my kids have robbed the only fan we have, so whats a maker to do? Finally make use of some of the stuff he had been hoarding, that's what!


This was a really simple project , only took about 15 minutes (ignoring the 3d printing time) and was built using only things I already had.
