Soldering Station with Changeable Holders

thingiverse

I created this to have a built-in fume extractor at my soldering station. Plus, I wanted to be able to easily swap out the holder for different tools. The fume extractor is designed to take a 120mm x 120mm fan and a 140mm x 140mm x 10mm filter. Right now, I'm experimenting with different materials for the filter. The clips are intended to slide down from the top and use friction to hold onto the filter material so it doesn't fall out. I printed two of them, but you might be able to get away with just one since the fan will help keep everything in place. Alternatively, you could just use some double-sided tape and not print any clips at all. I've included a few holder tools and will add more as needed or when I come up with new designs. Some of these tools include: Variable Gauge Tool - Three slots for different wire gauges 4x24 Gauge Tool - This one was designed because I was working on the MPCNC project and did a lot of soldering of 4 x 24 wires.
