Description
Tired of PC-fan extractors that do nothing? Most DIY extractors fail because they use axial fans which can't push air through a carbon filter. They either do nothing or blow so much air they cool down your soldering tip.
This model solves it all! By using a high-pressure Radial Blower, it creates a focused vacuum at the inlet to suck in every bit of smoke without affecting your soldering temperature.
Parts:
Radial Blower 5015 12V:
Aliexpress: Radial Blower 5015 12V 8500rpm
notice: i didnt find a 8500rpm blower on amazon, they only had half the rpm which is probably not enough
USB-C Step up board 12V 3S4A:
Aliexpress: USB-C Step up board 12V 3S4A
Amazon: USB-C Step up board 12V 3S4A
Wire (at least 24AWG):
Aliexpress: Wire
Amazon: Wire
12V LED Button 12mm self locking (optional):
Aliexpress: 12V LED Button 12mm
Amazon: 12V LED Button 12mm
Carbon filter (optional):
Aliexpress: Filter
Amazon: Filter
You need to spend a total of ~13€ or ~15USD

DISCLAIMER: The parts are designed to be pressed in, but if you have, use glue on the connecting pieces just to be sure
Insert the two little pins in the back plate (put the blower on the pins to guide them in straight)
Push the back plate in the bottom housing using the little tabs as orientation
Push the big black pins in the six holes
Slide the feet on the dove tails (The feet flare outwards, be aware of the orientation)
OPTIONAL: Take the end cap and insert the button and tighten it
Take the blower and insert it in the bottom housing
solder all the connections using this wiring diagram. Slide the cables through the openings in the back plate
with button:
without button:
push the endcaps in the foot (if you used the button push the button including the cap in the foot)
push the step up board in its place
The wiring part is done!
now is the time to plug it in see if it works!
If it works, push the lid on
push the turbine on its axle until it clicks, it should spin freely
push the turbine asselbly inside the top housing until it sits flush
No going back now: The two halfes are gonna be joined together
I used glue on this step so the two halfes have no air leaks.
It works without the glue but it has less performance. If you use it only for display glue is also not needed.
OPTIONAL:
cut the filter in a circle with a diameter 34mm
push it inside the outlet of the turbocharger
push the velocity stack on (it drastically helps with airflow)
