For the mount -> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4947599
And use any "print and send" service.

I never ordered to Bitcoinmerch myself, as I live in Eastern Europe, the shipping fee is expensive. My Compac F all came with fans

By the way, I would be interested if we are able to find a Noctua fan which is appropriate, I would like to have some in advance and the quality of the fans I own is pretty bad.

Do not buy the fans from Bitcoinmerch. They are really cheap and shit fans.
Out of the box 2 out of 6 didn't work well and were really noisy (high-pitched sound). And after some time the others failed.

Noctua does not make 40mm fans with a USB connector. We've tried to convince them to do a custom build, but no luck yet.
So if you want to use a Noctua fan with Compac f, you'll have to get the fan and adapter separately, and then mount them on the fan shroud.

Noctua makes 5V 40mm fans -> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071W6JZV8/
I bought those with FAN to USB cables -> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BQ82B6F/
That lets me power the fan from USB.
Same result as your solution, but no need to buy a Step-Up cable.
