Home made Fume Extractor
I got inspired to build my own “Fume Extractor” after watching this VIDEO
I wanted to make a big one, so I used a Pelican case instead of an Altoid tin, with a large computer case fan and a 12v DC power adapter instead of two 9v.
Large Fume Extractor
Easy to open
It works!
It works pretty well, I no longer smell the solder. The airflow isn’t as strong as I would like it to be. It may need a better filter, or MORE POWER!
You can find the ingredients to make an Altoid tin version here: How to: Candy tin fume extractor
Very interested in your filter. I’m looking at building a similar cabinet and would love to hear about your experience. There has been a lot of talk regarding this subject.
