Video:
This self-designed solder fume extractor is a compact and practical DIY project for any electronics workbench. It was developed to effectively extract smoke and fumes during soldering, thereby improving air quality. The extractor has a modular design and is available in two variants:
- Variant 1: 1x 120x120 mm fan + 1x 136x136 mm fan (e.g., from old PC power supplies)
- Variant 2: 2x 120x120 mm fans (for easier parts access)
Components used:
- 1x 120 mm fan
- 1x 136 mm fan (mostly from old ATX power supplies)
- 1x Speed controller: (Link: https://amzn.eu/d/aWCpoGK
