Active fume Exhaust for 3D printers

thingiverse

Reading about ABS fumes prompted me to take action, since I share a workspace with my Makerbot Replocator 2X. To address my concerns, I designed and constructed an active exhaust system using a fan salvaged from discarded equipment. The initial version is functional and effective, but it lacks the polish and sophistication that I may refine at a later time. Despite this, it delivers results: no odors in the office, reduced noise levels, and no adverse effects on my printer's performance due to temperature or airflow changes. Within the attached files, you'll find my original Sketchup design, which you can modify and enhance according to your specific needs. If you do so, please share your work and add a link to this project in the comments section. Update: I successfully relocated the fume exhaust system to my new Zortax M200 printer, where it performed just as well as before. This active exhaust has proven to be an invaluable accessory for my 3D printing endeavors.
