Solder Fan

thingiverse

Thought I would have a stab at a fume extractor for my first published design, idea came from working with my local maker space and how we could quickly and cheaply get extractor for soldering, so I took it upon myself to design something fairly simple and cheap to make. The design is based around a 120mm PC fan with a 12v wall wart powering it through a switch. A bent metal coat hanger provides support where required however not necessary if you don't want to use that feature. I printed all of the items in ABS, but this could easily be made in PLA well if required as there is no real stress or strain put on the parts and heat should never be an issue. Design was done in Solidworks and I have included the original files as well as step files for each part so feel free to customise for switches and jacks etc. Please let me know of any improvements or customisations you make I would love to see them!
