well you need a 24volt fan (we'll get into why you bought this in a bit lol)
I wired mine into the same socket as the onboard motherboard fan. Just used some thin wire stripped from a pc and ran it up the right nozzle tube with some duct tape for fixing.
What most of us do is print this ourselves and buy a 40mm 24volt pc fan from amazon for about $5.

Extremely effective, just clips in and out and total cost about £4
You've got a 3d printer - you shouldn't be buying bits of plastic that you can make anymore :-)
Abopve is where I wired my fan in. next time I mess with it I'll add a simple wire coupler just above the printhead, so i can easily change fans. At the moment I've just got the wires twisted together and taped.Last edited by curious aardvark; 02-23-2015 at 11:41 AM.
