Fume Hood

This is a fume hood I made for my personal solder station. It consists of multiple 3D printed parts and about $90 in other bits. It’s a bit expensive in the end but the fan is so powerful it can clear most of my office in no time. This will also give you the option to add fans in the future for printer venting as well as give you a 12V desktop power supply plus whatever else you decide to wire in. This was made on a Makerbot Replicator 2.
The body didn’t stick perfectly to the build plate so I got a good bit of warping. I didn’t redo it because it works just fine and that part alone is almost $7. The #8 nuts should rest flush inside the body and be attached with gel super glue. Mine only go in part way but glued just fine. Let me know in the comments if anyone needs an instructables on this.
Assembly is mostly straight forward if you have some basic soldering skills and can use a search engine. You need to attach the 2 way rocker to the PC power supply on/off wires and the 2 way toggle switches to the fan/fans. You’ll also need a deep socket wrench to bolt this to your work bench and a large enough drill bit to run all the wires and the bolt into the desk.
Print Setting:
Body: Medium Resolution 5% Infill 2 Shells (Raft might help keep it on the platform)
Face Screen: Medium Resolution 10% Infill 2 Shells
Window P1: Medium Resolution 10% Infill 2 Shells
Window P2: Medium Resolution 10% Infill 2 Shells
Electronics Box: Medium Resolution 10% Infill 2 Shells
EL Box Face Plate: Medium Resolution 10% Infill 2 Shells
El Box Screws: Medium Resolution 10% Infill 2 Shells
All in all this takes about 28 hours to print and will cost around $15.50 for the plastic parts. That is using a $33 1KG roll of PLA.
