Solder smoke air filter fan
- They make commercial versions of this, but it just seems like something that should be really easy to make ourselves. You just need several components:
  - A 120mm computer case fan with a high CFM
  - Some sort of a filter, maybe cut up a central AC filter
  - A housing, I am pretty good at re-purposing housings, or we have a couple metal bending tools at the space. Maybe even make it out of acrylic (Plexiglass)
  - A power supply, just need a 12v wall wart, I might even have one in my stash of old AC->DC power converters, I know I have a 19v one.
