Description
The May UFO Project from https://www.alien3d.us/ was a soldering Fume Extractor. I wanted to add power for my Pinecil.
This allows me to use my USB-C laptop charger to power the fan and the Pinecil. I started with the fan (12V 120mm PC Case fan) and filter from the UFO, then bought the parts listed below (affiliate links):
Switches:
Power cord for the Pinecil:
Jack to plug in the Pinecil:
Buck converter to reduce 20V to 12 for the fan:
USB-C input to pull 20V and power the fane and Pinecil:
I used 2 M3 x 6 screws to hold the buck converter and 4 M3 x 45 with 4 heat set inserts to hold the fan and filter unit together.
