what fan holder suitable for this ultimaker extruder type? and how to orient it

[www.ebay.com]

I tried the standard fan holder of ultimaker but it's screw holes are two , while this has four holes , and it does not fit in for the existence of the heat blocks anyway , the only way for it to fit in is on one side with a right angle rotation around original orientation axis

The ebay listing says its a kraken (clone), not an UM hotend. Try googling around for those, you might have more luck.

ok I realized that kraken hotends require water cooling , but for this ultimaker version I cannot find either the inlet or the output of water to that hotend , any help would be good winking smiley

You'll need to add your own water cooling system then.

Hi again I failed to find something that actually fit locally
I thought first of cpu cooling kits used for gaming purposes
is that the only choice that I have ?
[www.ebay.com]
its too expensive, is there some other built for hotends' solution that can fit ?

An aquarium pump will probably work, they're fairly cheap and you can probably find them locally. I can't say too much regarding the couplings you'll need since I've never used a kraken myself.
