A compact, USB-C powered solder fume extractor for electronics workbenches. Features a custom PCB, parametric 3D-printed case, and repurposed 12V fan support — the most affordable DIY fume extraction solution.
Take the smoke out of soldering with this compact and efficient fume extractor, designed for electronics hobbyists, makers, and engineers. Powered via USB-C Power Delivery, this solution lets you repurpose any old 12V fan into a reliable solder smoke absorber — saving money while keeping your workspace safe.
I designed a custom PCB and a parametric 3D-printable case that work together seamlessly. Thanks to MakerWorld’s in-browser editor, you can adjust the fan housing width and thickness to fit fans from 70mm up to nearly any size.
You can choose from three purchase options:
PCB only – for DIY builders who only want the assembled pcb
Case only – parametric 3D-printed housing
Fully assembled fan – ready-to-use solder fume extractor straight out of the box
Perfect for makerspaces, students, and electronics hobbyists who want an affordable, customizable, and space-saving fume extraction system.
