So simple and affordable. Thanks man.

Realy nice, especially that you have shared the 3D file!! Thanks for that! :)

It's a large funnel and I'll place it slightly above the work area. Do you think it works this way? Or does it work from a distance of 1-2 cm?

Excellent idea sir

Absolutely amazing. And that gap can easily be closed with a bit of cardboard. 😅

Vou fazer um igual. Eu tive essa ideia antes de ver, mas precisava saber se daria certo hahaha

By the way, what's a good alternative to that funnel if you you don't already have a 3d printer? Maybe just hack together some funnels until you get both ends the right size and some hot glue, I guess? Or maybe box of some sort? Hmm...

Nice!!!

This is such a great idea - thanks for sharing! Can i just ask where (and how) you mount the carbon filter listed in the parts list?

@MakeFunStuff

Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I didn't use a carbon filter since this is venting the fumes directly out a window, I just linked one as a reference for anybody that can't vent it outside. My model isn't set up with that in mind though, so it won't mount to it directly (unfortunately).

If I have a fume extractor inside my room & wear a mask, keep the fan on & the window cracked is that enough ventilation. It's 100⁰f outside and I can't solder in that heat anymore. Is this safe enough conditions to do it inside?

You just have to install an air filter to the tubing so air gets pulled through the filter before being released

Nice I like it.

Hi i am from Indonesia. What if reversed position. The end of the drain hose on the window and the fan near the soldering station?

@MakeFunStuff

Жыл бұрын

I can't say for sure, but I think that should work just as well. The speed of the air being pulled in where you're soldering would move a little slower since it's spread over a larger area, but my guess is that it'd still be fast enough to get the job done.

It makes perfect sense and it's not it occurred to me. Same with the working system of the vacuum machine. Finally, how many grams from the 3D model design. Because, in my country there is a 3D printing service that is calculated by weight for production costs? Thank you.

That depends on the settings you use when printing (infill, etc.), but with supports and 20% infill my slicer estimates 133g.

Hey, im looking to do this and am new to electronics, how do you have the fan/switch/jack wired?

@MakeFunStuff

3 жыл бұрын

Happy to help! The wiring is pretty simple, I just put up a diagram for you: bitbucket.org/make-fun-stuff/fume-extractor-diagram/src/master/FumeExtractorDiagram.png Basically, the fan has a positive and a negative wire, and when they are connected to the positive and negative wires of a power source (positive to positive, negative to negative), the fan will turn on. The power source in this case is the power jack, since it connects the positive and negative contacts for whatever power supply you use to leads coming out of the back of the jack. I connected the positive jack lead directly to the positive wire on the fan, and connected the negative jack lead to the negative wire from the fan, but with the switch in the middle. There are two leads coming out from the switch; when the switch is "on" they are connected and the switch acts as if it was just a wire, and when the switch is "off" they are not. When the switch is disconnected the fan's negative wire is not connected to the jack at all, so the circuit is not complete and the fan won't receive any power, even though the positive wire is connected to the power supply. Once the switch is flipped, the circuit is complete and the fan will be powered. The diagram should help make it more clear if this description is confusing at all. Hope that helped, and hope you enjoyed the video! It's great to hear about people who are getting started in electronics, best of luck to you!

Can i use i bigger tube like i got an old vaccum that doesn't work

@MakeFunStuff

Жыл бұрын

You could use a bigger tube, although the wider it is the slower the airflow will be. Depending on the size that may not be an issue, but you may need a more powerful fan as well. It's worth a shot though!

Nice build it would be even more efficient with a higher rpm fan and a large tube for a better extraction capacity and distance, i remember doing my first soldering without any fume extractor it was almost impossible fumes were all over the room

Thanks! I'm thinking about upgrading as well, it'd be nice to be able to get farther from the tube without having to worry. And I'm glad you got an extractor!

Are you 3D printing a 'mouth' for the tubing?

@MakeFunStuff

8 ай бұрын

So far just at the fan end. It works pretty good as-is, although a mouth might make it better. If you make something similar with a mouth, let me know how it goes!

I saw you are doing a pull configuration there. Do you think a push configuration would work? Basically the fan will be place at the table and the tube end will be place outside

@MakeFunStuff

Жыл бұрын

I don't see why that wouldn't work, and it might even work better. The suction would be a little weaker but over a larger area, which might make it easier to position.
