Does anybody know what this fan is called ?  It is commonly used in 3D printers and I want to get a cheap one (£2-3) from china but I don't know what it is called

Fans are just fans man.

You can get a random fan to replace it. Look for the same dimension.

Just match the voltage and amperage (usually written on the back sticker), install the old header to the new fan cable and you're set.

Roughly the smallest i could find. Its the type you use in laptops.

don't forget to match the voltage.

@James Evens Yes but I don't want to pay £8 for a fan. I want to get a cheap one

@SupaKomputa But this one has a special case over the blades

Blower fans, from around 5$ each : https://www.digikey.com/short/pbppbt

 

There's a bunch of 40x40 mm fans, but they're 5v or 12v ... should be easy to convert the 24v to 12v though, could be using something as simple as a 7812 linear regulator.

Laptop fan?

Newsflash. Cheap will break. And more obscure and niche the part is, harder it is to find cheap one. Fans overall are €$5 a piece if you want the cheapest and crappiest one. Even from China.

Pic? And can't you 3D print one for the fans you end up getting? Isn't that point of 3D printers?
