Solder fume extractor
The idea
While reading the
make magazine blog,
I visited a webpage explaining how someone built a fume extractor:
Ultra cheap fume extractor.
I immediately decided to build one too. I built mine a little differently. I did not
want to have the fan right in front of me. Too noisy. Instead, I installed the fan in a closet and
use a long vinly duct that goes to my desk.
Now the risk of inhaling the fumes directly is greatly reduced. :-)

Once the summer is back, I plan to send the air outside a window. Meanwhile, I installed
a simple filter. I dont expect it to filter the fumes very much, but at least it will
filter dust and who knows, maybe some smoke particules will stick on it.
