A fun and clean-looking fume extractor for your soldering setup. It uses a 40x20mm fan, the one I used was from Noctua. It should work with any other 40x20mm fan.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fan you use is 5V, because that is the output of a standard USB cable.

Assembly
- Remove the supports from the back-piece
- Insert the 40mm fan into the front-piece
- If done correctly, the sticker on the back of the fan should be facing towards you (see 7th picture)
- Run the cable of the fan through the hexagon-mesh panel of the back-piece. There should be a larger hexagon cutout for the cable to pass through.
- Snap the back piece and front piece together by aligning the prongs and cutouts and then pushing them together. If your printer is well-tuned, they should snap into place and stay there with no wiggle.
- Strip a USB cable and solder the red and black wires from the fan to the red and black wires from the USB.
- Lastly, connect the USB to any power outlet, laptop, PC, or electronic, and the fan should turn on.
- Enjoy!
