This project sucks In a good way 😂

[@Viddiecent]

After Looking at this and remembering I have a Sythe Gentle typhoon 5400rpm fan in my closet somewhere... might have saved my left ring finger haha.

[@jbear40]

absolutely love the witty comedy. its exactly how i acted learning about this stuff. ill probably order some pcbs if your sponsor is still active

[@fellpower]

I CANT watch videos with that annoying youtube music...

[@innerguardianXIII]

Is it possible to make this for UK customers? I'm in England and I want one of these for the failed 3D print melting fumes. I do worry about how it could be affecting the air and my health.

[@markgreco1962]

I hope the folks at JLCPCD enjoy your commercial messages. I know I do. Your humorous messages are great

[@benbaybay4397]

Your videos are so inspiring, keep up what you’re doing!! :)

[@andreilica100]

Do you think that the Noctua fan is powerful enough to handle a 10mm carbon filter? I have seen that some retail fume extractors are using 9mm or 10mm ones.

[@ff1077]

This is extreme nice. Would love to see it with a tube adapter and be able to charge the 18650s in the base when you plug it in.

[@jcdenton1310]

I built this project (thanks!) the carbon filter definitely does something. You can see residue trapped on the filter

[@muxallopeniot9194]

Great Project! I need to make one since I've been soldering more.

[@brianweber1973]

Why, oh why did I have to watch your channel?!?! All these fun projects! I watched about the AIXUN soldering system the other day. Now I need to get 1 or 2 or... I have been needing a fume extractor for some time. Now I can build my own. Just saw your vid on battery spot welding. Gotta make one of those as well. I am an RF/Antenna Engineer and have been for the better part of 25 years. I am unemployed for the moment but looking for some interesting projects to keep me going. Well done! I do enjoy watching and downloading the schematics & projects! Thanks!!

[@kwhp1507]

The circuit is not complex but adds more than necessary. A simple switch in line with the batteries and the dc jack straight to the fan with a diode to protect the batteries.

[@zlark.chroma8906]

does it works as Low Volt Protection as well? its another main concern

[@sandeepnaik6818]

At first I thought sucks=crap, then I started wondering then after you're demo I understood what you meant SUCKS=👍👍

[@necroshy]

Nice product, deff gonna build it. I like that the batteries is recharged outside the circuit and the safety features. But why use 3 18650 with an average voltage of 11.1V instead of 4 like u normally use for 12V supply? That will also "greatly" increase the suck factor and likely the noice.

[@tilburgcity78]

U can use a voltage booster from aliexpress. And a charging/protection module from aliexpress Than u need only 1 battery and u can control the speed. And u have a charging function with micro usb, and battery protection.

[@leecherlarry]

beautiful product

[@zaidhussain5206]

Thank you for sharing this video, really informative to me , I wonder what is the best & affordable online 3D printing service ? can you please recommend one ?

[@Apollo440]

What a valuable video! And in more ways than expected - the comedy bit was hilarious! Thank you. Did anybody suggest, that placing the filter behind the fan might add to the suction? I do wonder how much the dense charcoal filter hinders airflow, and whether there would be any trade off in ways of fumes seeping through the cracks (instead of passing through the filter, after being hit by the blades of the fan)?

[@SkylerLinux]

Only change I can think of, is getting the on-off button aligned in one of the hexagons

[@krisreddish3066]

That is pretty cool. I still use an HVAC exhaust fan with a tube-style carbon filter as my DIY Fume extractor. A bit overkill but it also deodorizes my entire house when I use it. A bit noisy, and large but damn does it perform. I will scale it down one day.

[@jimkornmeyer9856]

Love this fume extractor that I had to make it. Just a question though. Would a 3S BMS be a better choice with the 18650 batteries since it would allow the batteries to be recharged in the battery compartment

[@ohwii]

I salute you this is such a great project.

[@fu1r4]

It should be even better if you not suck through the filter. Not all have a 3D printer, so this really sucks ...

[@keto4life197]

Earn more money from your great projects by adding german links for ebay and amazon too most won't pay the import duties for buying from outside EU

[@MiguelGuatemala]

Excelente, pero yo lo hubiera hecho recargable. Saludos.

[@OliverEspinoza-ih3jf]

Esta muy bien pero tendria que ser con un conducto asi afuera o no porque no sirve de nada haser si no expulsa asi afuera

[@electronic7979]

Super

[@NiMareQ]

Oh man, this sucks. Nice

[@DustinGorman]

Awesome project man, thanks!

[@akhilsankar]

simple yet does the job efficiently. and your deisgn philosophy is nice, loved the entire process. more like these please.

[@DamnDealDone]

Does not do the job. Carbon filters do not remove solder flux fumes from the air.

[@wolfdale_3m]

I would build this...but with a Delta Server Fan and multiple layers of carbon filter sheets. Now that sucks! ;)

[@maxtester8824]

I even liked your self made Ad. Very well done!

[@holo7120]

what print settings did you use?

[@jus4027]

you make me laugh, might want to put disclaimer do not put metal in microwave :)

[@Elmaxsivu]

Man that was one of the funniest sketches ever ... the freaking microwave had PCB button ... im dying here 😄

[@tilburgcity78]

Why u removing usefully comments?

[@X7cF4]

Thumbnail looked like a great scott video lol

[@MadScientist267]

I'm not sure why anyone uses these things... The smoke is about as meh as it gets

[@Joshua.26]

I love everything that sucks :) Awesome video btw

[@og9806]

You can use a 3S BMS as well.

[@tilburgcity78]

Or 1 cell and a charging/protection module from aliexpress. And a voltage booster from aliexpress. Now u can control the fan speed. And u can charge the battery with Mico USB. Protection, speed control and only one lithium cell needed in this situation.

[@bluemodize7718]

First time in my life i see a useful DIY in my entire life

[@andreykrasehin2823]

с детства люблю запах канифоли

[@jesus_malik]

Best video, great edition, thanks broo

[@theothiebou3775]

what kind of 3d printer do you use

[@rudyardkipling4517]

I worked at the iron shop and done some welding and electronic work, programming machines and other stuff loved that job. BUT its a new era I bet some 2022 idiot watched the lifehack parody and microwaves metal while eating a tide pod with a Nyquil chicken chaser

[@AndrewOgden]

[@mariomunoz8894]

Awesome

[@cdyoutoob]

Hmm, doubtful on the actived carbon filter actually being activated carbon. Going to a ducted box filled with real activated carbon (aquarium product source) with a old vacuum will get rid of the nasties a lot better. Google 'hepa solder filter activated'. Commercial filter pricings are nutz but are economical if you can make a few to split the cost with friends. I've never microwaved my PCBs that way, but hey, it's 2020, i'll give oit a go. ;-)

[@Schematix]

I agree the type of carbon filtration here isn't going to offer the best filtration possible. Though my own observations, I've noticed the air quality in my shed noticeable improved once I was using this extractor. So I believe the filter is doing something. But certainly not 100% effective! However, that's the tradeoff for a cordless, compact & portable unit. Be sure to only use a microwave with a "PCB Easy-Bake" setting ;)

[@SianaGearz]

@@Schematix You don't think a 12cm fan like this will be able to pull through a Kärcher VC3 filter?

[@Schematix]

@@SianaGearz I highly doubt it would be very effective at move air through a vacuum filter.

[@SianaGearz]

@@Schematix Mhm i might have the Jou-Jye 12cm fan somewhere... 70dBA, 6000rpm, 50W... i can see almost no trouble with this at all...

[@DamnDealDone]

@@Schematix 0% effective. Those fumes are just diluting in the air which makes you think they are not there. Maybe breathing diluted fumes in the general air is slightly better than breathing them in directly, but if you solder for a few hours and multiple days you will have breathing problems and headaches and inflamed sinuses. After years this could result in asthma or worse.

[@Владимир-ч5м1л]

does this foam rubber cleanse the air of smoke? Real?

[@AS-ug2vq]

It's an activated charcoal filter, it does remove some chemical impurities.

[@SianaGearz]

Ah it's not rubber, it's a sheet of activated charcoal! It's a bunch of charcoal pellets that have been foamed up to increase the surface area massively! It's one of the most potent filter materials known to mankind. It won't delete all the smoke not at this small amount but it it will for sure catch as good as all the polar volatile compounds and a good amount of particulate matter.

[@JuulCPH]

So does the 12 VDC wall adapter actually charge the batteries or do you need a separate charger? I'm also curious why you are using a relay. It is my understanding that relays are not appropriate for DC circuits since they can stick themselves into a specific state. Probably this wouldn't stay on for long enough on a battery charge that it would get stuck but if it did then the batteries would get discharged below the cutoff. Also, this might be nitpicking but when fully charged the 18650 cells will overvolt the fan by something like 0.6 to 0.75 volts if charged by an external charger.

[@JuulCPH]

Ah it looks like the batteries are not being charged so you'd need an external charger. Wouldn't it make more sense to add a cheap 3S BMS module and then have a physical switch if the user wants to bypass the batteries or run it without batteries? Those BMS modules are only around $2 shipped and have built-in over-discharge protection.

[@redkurn]

maybe you wired it in reverse, but the orientation of the fan should be blowing the smoke back at you. typically the side the fan mounts to is the direction it blows. i wonder how much more effective it would be oriented properly or less as it is wired as you have it. aside from that, i have a project that i built with a old PSU chassis and the 120mm fan that was in it, it doesn't work very well and now i can give this project a try, also using a 500k linear potentiometer didn't work so well even with a beefy 80Ohm military spec resistor in parallel i couldn't get more control over the speed. should probably look into buying a lower value, but using scraps. 😋

[@janklas7079]

It's always better to have fume extracting. But the snowflakes of these days always seem to think that if you inhale one whiff, you're dead. You're not. Unless you're soldering EVERY DAY, for SEVERAL HOURS, an extractor like this is absolute and utter nonsense. Still, nic to have and simple design. You really need to do some work on your printer. The print quality is abysmal.

[@DamnDealDone]

Solder for three days in a week for just 2 hours each and you will have problems. Headaches, breathing difficulties, inflamed sinuses. Years of this and you could have permanent damage to your lungs and potentially your brain. A carbon filter does nothing. A HEPA filter is needed.

[@Patozas]

Nice Video . I want to be friends with you.
