LuxoSuck Solder Smoke Filter Fan

thingiverse

Designed for enthusiasts of 50mm fans, I utilize a 50x50x10mm Cooler Master EFB512LA fan, but I believe it could benefit from added strength when paired with a filter, opening up possibilities for deeper fan installation. Printed in black PETG using a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.25mm layers, this creation has proven to be robust. UPDATE: To enhance suction performance, I have incorporated a plate and hose segments into the design. For detailed instructions on printing the hose elements, refer to the provided print settings. To assemble the stand, you will need M3 bolts, self-tappers or similar fasteners, two M4 bolts, and locknuts. The design features cutouts for a switch and DC socket for charging purposes. Minimal post-processing was required, with only slight adjustments needed to screw holes through filing or boring. Next time around, I plan to reinforce the top part of the stand, recognizing that this may not be necessary when working with PLA due to its rigidity. However, PETG's flexibility necessitates added support in this area. UPDATE: To ensure safe charging and battery protection, I have installed a 3S BMS Charger Protection Board, which safeguards Li-ion cells from overload and deep discharge. The charge plug functions smoothly, and I've utilized the DC socket switch to turn off the fan during charging – although, upon reflection, this may not be necessary. Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 mk2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.4x0.25mm Infill: Cubic Notes: Be aware of custom support in the bottom stand piece, which requires a single bridge layer and is easily removable. To achieve optimal results, print FixingPlate.stl and Arm twice, ensuring they are oriented to print without supports (stand open to top, etc.). For printing hose segments, use Vase Mode with overextrusion settings. I set my layer width to 0.62mm (nozzle diameter: 0.4mm) and recommend adding a 0.5mm brim for added stability. To secure the first segment in place, I employed hot glue.
