Make your Own Auto-Sensing Solder Fume Extractor
element14 presents | Katie Dumont's VCP Profile | Project Videos
Forget to turn on the extractor whilst soldering, me too. So I’ve made an automatic sensing extractor, that uses a particulate sensor to monitor the air quality and automatically change the fan speed to match the air quality, therefore creating the optimum extraction for the current job.
