Parametric Fume Extractor

My publication can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3857718 and https://github.com/OnkelHardy/fume-extractor . This solder fume extraction system is not intended to replace devices with filters at a professional workplace. But also in the hobby area it is not very beneficial to inhale the solder fumes, which inevitably arise. For this purpose I have developed this simple solder fume extractor. My base is a 70 CPU fan, which has been lying idly in an electronics box for years. Since I have developed the device in OpenScad, and of course also make the SCAD file available, any dimensions can be set. For people who are not familiar with OpenScad, I included suitable STL files for 70 and 80 fans. If desired, the solder fume extraction can also be printed with an adjustable stand, which improves the angle of inclination. The axis of the stand is a piece of filament. To allow the filament axis to be inserted, the pressed holes should be drilled with 2.00mm. Small magnets can be inserted during printing to ensure that the stand is in the rest position. Pay attention to the magnetic polarity. Round magnets with 4mm diameter and 2mm thickness are used. At the stand 1 magnet comes in, at the device 2 magnets come on top of each other. To insert the magnets in the slicer, set a filament change at the appropriate place and continue the pressure after inserting the magnets. As you can see on a photo, I also glued in a piece of 12V LED strip, this option makes a lot of sense to me. For power supply I used an old plug-in power supply of a disused external hard disk and connected it with a suitable plug. Print parameters: 40% filling density 0.2mm layer height 4 vertical contours 4 horizontal contour sleeves 80mm/s print speed With a successful print I would be very happy about a Like! Greetings Hardy
