Stop by :-) THANKS in advance. I look forward to cool designs, good constructive criticism, pictures of your prints, and of course 5 stars ;-)

This compact solder fume extractor was specially developed for use at electronic workstations. The housing consists of five precisely 3D-printed parts that are easy to assemble and form a stable, functional unit.

Inside, a 120 mm fan reliably draws in the smoke and vapor particles generated during soldering. In front of the fan is a filter chamber for activated carbon filter material, which binds a large part of the harmful fumes and odors. The filtered air is then blown out of the device to the rear, so that the smoke is effectively directed away from the workstation.

An integrated rotary potentiometer on the front allows for continuous adjustment of the fan speed. This allows the extraction performance to be individually adjusted depending on the soldering work and desired noise level – from quiet in the background to maximum extraction performance.

The individual housing parts are screwed together, creating a stable construction and allowing the device to be easily disassembled if necessary. For assembly, M4 threaded inserts (Heat-Set Inserts) are inserted into the designated receptacles in the printed part.

Required Hardware:

• 8× M4 × 8 mm screws
• 8× M4 threaded inserts (6 mm × 6 mm)
• 2× activated carbon filters 130 × 130 × 10 mm
• 1× 120 mm fan (standard PC fan)
• 1x rotary potentiometer

Features:

• Housing made from 5 easy-to-print 3D parts
• Designed for 120 mm standard PC fans
• Stepless fan control via rotary potentiometer
• Filter compartment for two activated carbon filters
• Rear air outlet for effective smoke extraction
• Compact design – ideal for workbench, maker space, or electronics lab
• Screwed construction for stable assembly and easy maintenance

This DIY solder fume extractor is a practical and cost-effective solution to significantly reduce exposure to soldering fumes during work and to ensure a more pleasant and healthier working environment.
