i am going to make a fume extractor because i solder in my room and that’s not good for you

constraints:
small(i want it to be under 1ft so it can fit in my desk)
expandable(i want a way to move it up and down so it can work when i am soldering something on a stand)
flat(i don’t want to have many part stick out so i can put it in my drawer without taking up to much space)
stable(i just don’t want it to fall over)

small:
to make it small i made it out of a small parable fan i repaired

expendable:
i was thinking about how to do this for a long time and eventually settled on a ladder peg system so you lift it to the high you wand then insert the peg so it holds in place

stable:
for this i knew i wanted a system where something would extend on the floor to increase surface area how ever i couldn’t find a good way to do this so i settled on two little flaps that go on the bottom of the legs

flat:
this is why the stability was really hard to figure out but i ended up making a track for the flaps to fold up so they don’t tack up space
