Saw the original for a 140mm fan ( https://www.printables.com/en/model/363427-powerful-desktop-solder-fume-extractor-with-big-14 )but I only had a 120mmx120mmx25mm fan to hand, so I resized it and changed the foot section to be a solid and sturdy stand.
I am waiting for the 130x130x10 mm charcoal filters to arrive which is why they aren't present in the pictures but it will go in the filter housing section. I was going to buy some m3x50mm pins and nuts but I am impatient and thought "I'll print something instead" so the pins push through the fully built sections (including the fan and filter in its section) and the clasp is squeezed onto the end with a pair of pliers and it seems good enough for me. Probably a one hit thing with these but the pins are quick to print if they break when changing the filter.
All of the larger pieces can be printed without a brim but I recommend using a brim on the m3 sized pins to avoid problems.
Supports are not needed at all.
I might add a strip of leds in the top of the cowling for extra lighting when soldering, if so I probably should have made a hole for the wires so if you are intending to add the leds, fiddle with the stl to make a wiring hole.
