This is the latest (maybe final?) version of my printed desk fan project and it's the first one that is actually a practical fan. The fan uses a centrifugal compressor to generate airflow, driven by a brushless DC (BLDC) motor that is controlled by a BLDC motor driver and an Arduino nano. Is the fan quiet?
