    Hello DIY community,
    I wanted to share this simple and cheap yet efficient exhaust fan.
    Of course you will not use this for simple repair, but more intensive work may require a feature like this.
    Keep your lungs safe!

    Good idea.
    Did you use a 220 V fan?

    Yes but you can use any available fan.
    The stronger the fan, more efficient to this aplication.

    Yes I would think of a smaller fan (computer type) thinking that a 220v would be too big and too strong.

    I was just thinking about that a pc case/cpu fan must be enough. And so you wont have to buid the cone.

    If you are looking for a cheap but pretty decent PC fan wind simulation then have a look at the system I used on the VR haptic rig I built for my father: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/teddles-vr-haptic-rig.13821/
