Portable extractor fan and ducting
Description
I have a very small workshop in a shed in my Garden. Space is at a premium, so when things aren't being used they need to get put away, and when they are used they tend to have to do double duty. When I run my machinery, I don't used coolant as it's messy - but I do used cutting oil. This tends to smoke when machining parts and sometimes it fills the workshop. This is where the extractor comes in. It's a standard 100mm inline bathroom extractor fan mounted on a piece of board. The STLs included in this thing are the parts I designed to make it reposition-able and to make it easier to store. These parts are: A flanged port that is screwed to the shed wall A cap for the port so it can be closed when not in use An adaptor tube / coupler for the ducting to the port A ring clamp for the business end of the ducting to hold the inlet next to the work via an articulated magnetic indicator base. A flanged box to house an illuminated rocker switch which turns the extractor on or off. The whole thing can reach anywhere in the workshop, and can be packed away and hung on the wall when not in use. New Files Added 19/03/20 - I have modified the duct coupler to add a small lip on the end to stop the ducting from slipping off once zip tied on. This the V2 file. I have also created two new inlets: A full conical one and one that is cut to for more of a hood shape due to the cone being cut at an angle. Both have the same sort of lip as the coupler to prevent duct slippage; both are the base diameter for use with the 100mm ducting. 06/04/2020 - new V4 duct clamp part - this uses a single M5 screw to tighten rather than two M3 screws on the previous version. https://youtu.be/l83bQI1WAzk
