Adding a blower type fan has significantly improved my print quality. I used the following fan, but any similar 75mm blower fan should work, provided it doesn't draw more than about .4A of current.

The other fan mounts I found all keep the blower fan at an angle, taking up more space than is necessary. I also found the mounts had no way of securing the blower, and it would rattle around during printing, and always made me feel like it would fall out.
This fan mount keeps the blower in a more secure vertical orientation, and keeps it close to the extruder motor, making it a little more compact. This makes it a bit easier to access the build plate. The mount allows for zip ties to be threaded through the blower mounting holes, firmly securing the blower to the printer.
