Minimalist 3D Printed Fume Extractor

thingiverse

Breathing solder fumes can cause serious health problems, a solder fume extractor is an affordable and easy way to minimize the inhalation of such fumes. This is why I designed and built this minimalist mostly 3D printed fume extractor according to my needs. My goal was to create something functional, aesthetically pleasing, inexpensive, compact and simple. An important feature of this project is the removable filter cartridge that makes changing the activated carbon filter easy and allows you to use filters from the Hakko 491, 493, FA-400 fume extractors which are readily available. In order to minimize post processing I made a two part design for the enclosure and cartridge so you won't need to print supports and post-processing will be minimal.
