Solder Fume Extractor

thingiverse

I designed this solder fume extractor using Fusion 360. Check out the YouTube video to see how it came together: https://youtu.be/KdRE1B4gJt0. You can find more of my projects on my channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/Massey276. Update: I've discovered that removing the carbon filter from the back doubles suction power. If you still want to double up filtration, print the "Body Front Upgrade_2 Filters" file and use it instead of the single filter Body Front. This way, you can stack two filters in the front and none in the back, though suction will be slightly lower. The shroud takes the longest to print, so I recommend printing it with at least 15% infill. A small hole in the top right corner allows you to pass wires for LED lights through to the back. This extractor uses a 120 mm x 120 mm fan, and the mounting holes are 105 mm apart. You can find the specific fan I used here: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07BMJ61DM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. For lighting, I used a 12 volt LED strip cut into four sections for the shroud. A separate switch controls both lights and fan. Carbon filters measuring 0.9 cm thick were purchased from Amazon; here's the link to what I used: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07VFG8D9G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
