iSuck - The Soldering Fume Extractor

This is the remix of the remix or the redesign of the redesign.

Motivation

I liked the idea of the remix, but I wanted a bit cleaner design and as I'm new to 3D printing wanted to try out some ideas. I redesigned everything from scratch. Especially I wanted to click the fan and filter together.

This fume extractor is easy to print, easy to assemble and disassemble and very powerful regarding the extraction of fumes.

I recommend printing the parts from PETG. I used Prusament PETG for the orange parts and Fiberology Matte PETG for the black parts.

Printing

You can find a plated version (3mf) in the files section, but here are my suggestions how to print it.

Slicer Settings

• Layers: 0,20 mm
• Infill: Cubic 15%
• Supports: Organic, on build plate only
• Skirt: 1 round
• Pause: For the FanHolder, you need to add a Pause at Layer 18 to insert 4 M3 nuts!
  In case you want to make sure that that the printing continues flawlessly, clean the nozzle after the pause and increase the skirt height to 19 layers. Then it will print a round of skirt and then finish the print.

Hardware

• 1x Fan 140mm
• 4x M3 x 30 mm screws
• 4x M3 nuts (2,3 mm height)
• 1x PWM controller
• 2x Active Carbon Pads 130 x 130 x 10 mm
• 1x Power Plug 5.5 x 2.1 mm
• 1x 12 V DC power supply 18W 1,5A

Assembly

This is pretty straight forward. Check the fan direction that it blows into the filter and sucks fumes in. There is a little little bracket to stabilize the PWM. It should work as is, but you can also glue it down. Once you have put everything in place, click the two parts together and mount it on the foot.

Check the PWM page for the wiring, the fan is wired the following way:

I hope you like it and have fun with it!
