Monolith Fume Extractor

thingiverse

This is a simple yet highly effective solder fume extractor that makes working with hot metals a breeze. Just place it near your work area, and the fumes will be kept out of your face. To assemble this device, print and solder the fan leads to the battery case after threading them through the hole at the bottom of the extractor. Next, connect the wires to the cavity at the bottom of the fan holder and press the fan in place - no glue needed, as it's a secure press fit. Finally, attach the fan holder to the top of the battery case using a suitable adhesive like Goop or epoxy, taking care not to get any on the battery door. With some batteries inserted, you'll be enjoying fresh air in no time. To build this project, you'll need: one 60mm x 60mm x 15mm, 5V fan and one four-cell AA battery holder with a switch. You can find suitable fans at Mouser or Pololu, but make sure to choose the slowest and lowest amp draw option for extended battery life and quiet operation - more airflow isn't always better in this case.
