It is an 80mm fan. The one I used was the Radio Shack 280-1101.

Pic of printed fan mount attached to my SD3. Works great!!!
Attached fan wires to power supply wires on the electronics board. Unscrew the small screws, pull out the power cord, wrap fan wire on the power cord leads, put the power cord back into the electronics board and tighten screws.
Make sure the fan is blowing air on the electronics to keep the chips cool.

One suggestion I would like to add, is to use a hot glue gun to stick the 4 short spacers to the back of the printer frame before beginning this mod. This will greatly facilitate alignment when you reassemble.
