Description
On my Mosaic there isn't a lot of real estate to add a RAMPS fan. So I designed this 50mm fan mount to fit snug on the USB cable that plugs into the RAMPS board. It has two M3 bolt holes to mount the fan and works pretty well.
Keep in mind, your USB cable might not be the same size as mine (11.5mm square.)
I'll include the sketch up file so you can play with it.
If you want to grab this and make it parametric, please let me know. I want to learn how to do that.

Instructions
Print, plug, cool.
It took my Mosaic 37 minutes with 2 walls, 3 solid layers, 0.25mm height, and 20% fill with 40mm/sec perimeters speed, and 70mm/sec for everything else using Slic3r 0.7.1.

Goodness... 70mm/sec???!!! How does your Mosaic not fall apart on you? I've been using 60 for travel but usually no more than 32 or 36 for printing and even then its a loud little beast. What am I missing?

Now that I think about it, I'm sure it has a lot to do with my cool settings. It's fast when the print is large and slows down a lot when I have a small layer. I try to keep any and all prints under 2 hours for the largest items.

Not sure, it's pretty smooth running at up to 80mm/sec. To negate noise I have it sitting on top of a folded towel. Whisper quiet.

Slick design, but I fear for the USB port (perhaps because I have a two year old).

Neat. You don't even want to see how I have my ramps fan attached now. (it makes heavy use of being supported by the stepper wires).
