These small pins fit into the fins of the Atomic Pi's heat sink. They can anchor a 60mm fan very nicely, without anything else, no screws, or other parts. Just 4 pins.

Though a fan is not necessary on the Atomic Pi, it reduced the temperatures by 20C under a full load, and by 10C at idle. I used a 5v low RPM fan.

 

I recommended printing with a brim, as these parts are small and easily detach. Just ripping off the brim without sanding or anything provides some material that gets compressed and helps the fan stay on. Use the included .gcode or .3mf files for best settings.

 

I used PETG as it is more thermally resistant, which is good for this application.
