Insulate the hotend and place a large computer fan on the desk beside the printer, pointing at it.

[www.thingiverse.com] . I use this fan design on mine. Its somewhat adjustable, and to get max cooling cut the front off of the nozzle to open it up as the designer aparently didnt calculate the fan sweep area to figure the correct nozzle diameter. But like aplavins said be sure to insulate the hot end or it will suck the heat right out of it in a hurry.
