Description
These are components that can be used to assemble a powered solder fume filter using two 80mm axial fans. They consist of a dual 80mm fan plenum, a filter box and filer retainer, and a threaded mount for ¼" NPT flexible coolant pipes. The filter box was sized for using some activated charcoal filter pads I had on hand. They were for use with a HAPF30AT filter, and I folded over ⅓ of the length to fit.
To simplify assembly, I glued the filter box base and fan plenum together, but screws could be used. I also glued on the threaded mounts to add four coolant pipe grippers and one coolant pipe LED light ( https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/96483-helping-hand-led-mount ). The filter sheet retainer presses down on the filter sheet material and is retained by two 3mm screws protruding through the box walls & over the retainer frame.
Both fans and light were powered by a 12v supply via anderson powerpole connectors assembled in the standard amateur radio configuration (red on right with tongues up).
EDIT 12/28/2021: Added part #5, a deflector to be added to the fan exhaust side to redirect exhaust upward.
