Solder Fume Extractor

thingiverse

March 13, 2019 Update: I've confirmed that the Stabilizer V1.0 file is incorrect, as mentioned by "socratesjohnson" in a comment. I've removed the file from the list and updated the "Things File" with the correct file "Fume Extractor Stabilizer v1.1." Sorry for the mix-up. This Soldering Fume Extractor is designed to work with an 80mm 12v computer fan. I created the design with a couple of options in mind. You can choose to mount a toggle switch to power on the unit, or you can opt not to include one at all (I powered my unit using a 12V 1Amp DC 110v PSU from Amazon.ca). If you decide to add your own switch mount, you'll want to print the file labeled "without switch." The other option is the front grill, which comes in two designs: flat or with four sides that flare out at about a 10-degree angle. I chose the flat design, but I'm not sure how effective the other one will be. Here's what you'll need to complete the build: * An 80mm computer fan * Optional toggle switch to power on/off the unit * Carbon filter (available on Ebay and can be cut down to size) * 1.25-1.5" bolts with matching nuts (2x) * Computer mounting fan screws (x2) * Smaller type screw (no exact size; I used M2.5 or M3, but you'll need to experiment to find the right fit) You can also power the fan using a 12v (3s) Lipo Battery with a JST or XT60 connector, depending on your battery setup. Some basic soldering skills are required to complete the build. Comments are welcome.
