My own Soldering Protection tool.

My creation :)

So as you can see from the picture, I made a small protection tool for my soldering job from a broken Power supply. If you want to do this, make sure it's an ATX format because smaller PSU's don't work quiet well and the soldering pen won't fit inside.

Steps:

1. Disassemble the Power supply, remove everything including the board, wires, but keep the screws. (I also kept the board and wires for further projects.)

2.  De-solder the Fan. (or cut the wires for ease.)

3. Attach the fan to the outer holes of the case and screw it. I broke one of the fan screw holes during this process, so tighten them in X format. (Make sure the direction is intake ,to suck the air towards the PSU contraption.)

4.  For safety, add some filter or cloth in the holes that the air will come out. Note that solder smoke can cause cancer. This is a very important step.

5. Find a hole to put out the fan wires from it, make sure it has no contact with the soldering pen. Check couple of times.

6. Get yourself a 12V adapter. PC fans work in the range of 5V to 12V so even a smartphone charger is fine. Check the polarity of the fan as well, red wire is positive and black wire is negative.

7. Enjoy, you now have a protection for your solder, you put it in the holes where the power supply wires used to come out. So you won't burn anything and you keep it safe.
 While soldering you can turn on the fan, it can suck the air in and prevent cancer.
