Replacement Fan Base (Big Lots "Climate Control" 16in Fan)

myminifactory

So I'm brutally honest about my treatment of equipment; and sometimes when it gets ridiculously hot, I plant my fan at the door and crank that thing to maximum speed! Well this time, I didn't just place it down.... more like hurled it down with the ferocity of a thousand fantasy role-players. In short, I smashed its legs. Plain and simple. Gone. Will never walk again... BUT WAIT! I can craft new ones! Better... Stronger... Simpler!!!!! WE HAVE THE ADVANCEMENT!!!! This is specifically designed for Big Lots ":Climate Control" 16in fan, but since it's basically a low-cost product from overseas, I'm confident that this will fit other fans as well. The fan's stem (Is that the correct term for a standing fan???) has an outer diameter of 31.46mm, the base hub I designed has an inner diameter of 31.55mm to ensure a snug fit. The hub has slots for three legs to insert with symmetrical balance. The hub slots have a tolerance of .4mm so the legs snap into place with some force, with no room for wobble. The fan legs raise the hub (and in turn the whole fan assembly) 20mm from the ground.
