Kirby Fume Extractor with USB-C (60mm fan)

A fume extractor for soldering. I remixed the original part to fit a 60mm fan, a rocker switch and added a USB-C connector, like all new devices should have.

You will need the following parts (or remix it to use parts you have lying around):

• 12V 60x25mm fan → https://amzn.to/3qnkCV6
• 60x60 active carbon filter → https://amzn.to/3Jl87Sw
• rocker switch 21x15mm → https://amzn.to/32yXJWu
• USB-C Module (PDC005 - 9/12V version without USB-A Header) https://tinyurl.com/y5ltmyeu
• M3 threaded inserts → https://amzn.to/3pteITk
• M3 screws (M3x15 habe a nice fit here) → https://amzn.to/3yXxncQ
• additionally printed 60mm fan grill → this one works if scaled to 70% https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:706812
• solder iron + solder + some wire

Printing:

I printed the part completely without support, which lead to bad bridging on the back side where the fan is supposed to sit, but saves a big amount of time and filament. 

Print time is about 11 hours with 4 walls and 15% infill.

Assembly:

1. insert the threaded insert into the 4 mounting holes
2. strip the wires from the fan 
3. lead the positive (red) cable through the hole under the USB module mount point to the right and solder it to the rocker switch
4. solder a second cable to the other side of the switch and lead it back to the left side
5. now solder it to the positive (+) side of the USB module from below
6. push in the rocker switch
7. short the negative (black) wire from the fan to about 5-10cm and solder it to the negative of the module ( don´t make it too short so you have some play while pushing in the fan
8. push in the USB module into its mounting point
9. push the screws in the fan holes now 
10. in order to prevent the fan from hitting the filter push the printed fan grill onto the fan now 
11. push the filter onto the screws
12. now push in the fan and tighten the screws (watch out not to squish the cables too much)
