I can only find a 100$ Azteeg V3 with a 5V 2A controllable pin.
I used to have a RAMPS 1.4 + RRD Extender + Step-Down Converter soldered/screwed in place.
I want to go compact and less stacky-whacky with a decent price tag (20-40€)
Any ideas.

Duet WiFi, Duet Ethernet and Duet Maestro have the fan voltage selectable between VIN and 5V, but they are probably out of your price range too. With most controllers it is safe to connect the positive fan wire to a suitable +5V supply and the negative fan wire to the negative fan terminal on the controller.

So a PC power supply with a dedicated 5v rail would work.

I want to do almost the same as you only with the difference that my fan use 12V 0,23A. I just got them yesterday. I have already used the RRD extender for the 2 extruder fans.
I wonder if it is possible to use an Arduino 4way relay module (Which i have laying around for years) + external 12V power supply, and then connect it to some aux pins on the Ramps 1.4 ( I have Ramps 1,5) ?
Does anybody know ?
