Fume Extraction Arm Design Pack

Open Hardware for Workshop Air Quality

This pack contains the complete SolidWorks design data for a robust, two-joint fume extraction arm with a mounting flange. Designed by Meisterfabrik's mechanical and manufacturing engineers, these files provide all the details a skilled craftsman needs to fabricate, and assemble.

Our Philosophy: True Ownership Through Open Design We believe in Design for Repairability (DfR). Industrial equipment often fails because proprietary parts are unavailable or impossible to replace. By releasing the full engineering data, we enable true ownership: you can repair a worn joint, modify the reach, or adapt the mount to your specific bench without waiting for a manufacturer. This is self-determination in action—giving you the power to maintain your workspace safety on your own terms.

Created by Meisterfabrik Engineers Every file reflects the rigorous work of our mechanical and manufacturing teams. We engineered for real-world workshop conditions. The design prioritises smooth articulation and ease of fabrication.

What's Inside Each Pack:

• SolidWorks Part Files – Detailed models of the two articulated joints, the arm segments, and the mounting flange, ready for inspection or modification.
• SolidWorks Assembly Files – A fully constrained assembly showing how the joints interact, including bearing placements and fastener locations.

Practical Applications

This design is could be suitable for soldering ventilation and other low-volume fume extraction tasks. The construction is intentionally straightforward:

• Tubing – Simple metal or plastic tubes form the arm segments, easily sourced or fabricated in a basic workshop
• Joints – The articulated joints are designed for FDM 3D printing, making them accessible to makers with standard desktop printers
• Mounting Flange – Adaptable to benches, walls, or custom stands

Why Choose This Design Pack? Whether you are building a custom fume extraction station for a soldering lab, electronics workbench, or small-scale fabrication area, this pack gives you a complete SolidWorks blueprint. You aren't just buying a file; you are gaining the knowledge to build a safer, more efficient workspace.

This is open hardware done right: transparent, reproducible, and crafted by engineers for makers who refuse to be dependent on closed supply chains.

Good For:

• Soldering and electronics workbench ventilation
• Fabricating custom fume extraction arms for specific workbenches
• Replacing broken or obsolete commercial extraction arms
• Educational projects in mechanical design
• Modifying reach angles or mounting configurations for unique setups
• Long-term maintenance and part replacement
