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

thingiverse

So I'm pretty harsh on my equipment; and sometimes when it gets too damn hot, I yank my fan at my door and crank that thing to overdrive! Well this time, I didn't yank it down.... more like slammed it down with the anger of a thousand DnD nerds. In short, I snapped its damn legs. Simple as that. Gone. Won't ever walk again... BUT WAIT! I can build new ones! Better....Stronger.... Simpler!!!!! WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!!!! This is specifically designed for Big Lots' "Climate Control" 16in fan, but since it's basically a cheap Chinese product, I'm sure there are other fans this will fit. 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 give a tight fit. The hub has slots for three legs to insert with trilateral symmetry. The hub slots have a tolerance of .4mm so the legs insert with some force, with no wiggle room. The fan legs raise the hub (and in turn the whole fan assembly) 20mm from the ground.
