Do smoke absorber improvised yourself

If you often use a soldering iron, then I think the problem is not just the smoke took your head. After all the smoke from the soldering iron is quite harmful and toxic. Of course, you can buy a professional hood, but it is quite good money. In the same article, I'll show you how to make a smoke absorber from scrap materials and easily accessible in just a few hours.

the necessary equipment

So, in order to carry out this idea, we need to contact you:

1. Any computer fan;

2. A small piece of plywood and rail;

3. Switch on the 12 V;

4. Any source issuing 12 volts, for example, laboratory power supply;

5. Screwdriver, screws, jigsaw (saw), and 2 hours of time;

6. Coal, a small piece of solid matter, or fine mesh sealant.

Getting to assembly

So, the most basic element of our joint design is a fan and depending on its size we are and we will draw on. In my case, it has the following dimensions: 13 cm - width, 13 cm - 2.5 cm in height and - the thickness of the fan.

So, starting from the fan size, we require the following number of veneer sheets:

Thereafter follows collect body and fasten the fan.

Once the side panels are ready, mark up and make holes for the switch in our cap, our hole for fastening and do the switch in the rear cover vents follows way:

Then we set two planks, which will play the role of the catchers and fixatives our makeshift filter:

Further binds switch and display the power cord. Since I was the only available single-contact switch, then through him, I let the "plus" and "minus" directly connected.

By the way, as a source of food, I chose the old Motorola power supply to 12 volts and 1 ampere.

We are now ready for filling our niche of the filter component. To coal did not wake up, I laid the cloth follows, and then fell asleep coal:

Our smoke absorber is almost ready

Now it remains only to paint (or pasted its self-adhesive film), our unit is ready, and it is completely ready to use.

conclusion

In my opinion, such a scavenger should be in every person who is actively involved in soldering, especially to do it yourself is quite simple and does not require any financial costs.
