Second fan addon, but which model?

Hey guys, I've got a V2 with the first gen effector. I print mostly PLA and my prints are pretty good. I have noticed that my prints are always better on one side than the other: the fan side.

I'd like to add a second fan to help cool the other side of the print, but there's only one tab for the Ganau Blower fan.

I ordered a 30mm blower and have a 40mm regular fan, so I'm sure there are lots of solutions.

It looks like the V2 second gen effector has 3 tabs so I could get a spool of ABS and print my own second end effector

or

I could model a longer tab on to the Ganau Blower model

or

I could model a connector to make more tabs on the effector

or

One of you lovely people could help me by pointing me to a second fan that attaches to the g1 effector

or

Something more brilliant than I could even fathom while writing this?

Go to repables.com and search for fan.
You should find something that will work for the second fan mount.
There are probably a dozen or so different printable shrouds.

But which one? A dozen is a lot more challenging when you've no idea of the merits or fit of each.
