Very small blower fans

Hi,

I’m designing a very compact direct drive extruder and I’m looking to fit it with some blower fans (also known as squirrel cage fans). In my experience these provide the best air flow for their size, but I find the 50x15mm ones on the large size, especially since I want to install two of them for an even air flow. Trawling through google/ebay/aliexpress hasn’t yielded much… so anyone know of a very small sized blower fan? Probably close to 30mm diameter is what I’m looking for

Thanks

Nice! that thing is tiny, exactly what I needed. Shame about the price though!
