Fume extractor idea (Patreon)
Content
So I am just going to leave the idea here for now.
I found myself not using my freely standing fume extractor as much as I should, because 'ah what the hell, just a quick solder joint, not gonna set up anything complicated for that'. So I need a permanently installed solution, that automatically turns on when I use the soldering iron. My idea was to get an affordable (in comparison to that professional RS Online extractor at least) Xiaomi air purifier for which various grades of filters exist. I'd reverse the fan so that it sucks in air through the top and attach a 3D printed adapter to some ESD safe LOC-LINE Flexi 75
I'd turn it on along with the soldering station using a 'master slave switch' so that it takes no extra effort.
