Fume extractor by mep11

(i have different fume extractor design that is smaller and a lot better looking http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2202233) This fume extractor can be used with the hose attachment for larger jobs like desoldering components from a T.V. or a fume hood for everything else. Future parts might include a fume hood with helping hands, a cyclone for the hose so small pieces of plastic can suck up stuff with out hurling it at the fan blades, and a side body that can hold solder. The 1st side body can accommodate a rocker switch(14mmx19mm hole) and a potentiometer(a 3mm led also fits in the hole). My pot turned out to be broken so its not wired in there in the pictures posted. For a filter an active carbon pad can be used(https://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Filter-Activated-Weller-Absorber/dp/B009AE8DWO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466311145&sr=8-2&keywords=fume+extractor+filter), active carbon or charcoal pebbles(active carbon pebbles can be found at wal-mart in the fish aisle and work really well) but even without a filter it still helps because its pulling the fumes away from your face and disperses it up. fan size is 80mmx80mmx25mm. A ball bearing fan should be used instead of sleeve since it will be mounted horizontal.
