Background

Soldering has some nasty fumes from the flux as it burns off. I built this project before I got my fancy Hakko Smoke Absorber (which is great).

If you have an IKEA LED flexneck lamp and an old small PC case fan (I think the one I used here actually came from an HD enclosure), you can build a DIY fume blower-awayer. Neat!

Also, InstaMorph is amazing and you should just go buy some to have around the house in case you need it. It's like the duct tape of moldable thermoplastic.

Parts

Here are the parts I used.

Assembly

Disassembly of the lamp.

Tiny soldering job to extend those little wires.

Added some heat shrink to the leads... exposed wire is not cool.

I used some InstaMorph to mount the fan in the opening of the LED light.

Working!
