Solder fume extractor

On this topic too, does anybody know of a good way to keep the fumes out of your eyes?

My eyes seem to dry up when soldering. I can't imagine that's sustainable long term.

Any sufficiently powerful fume extraction setup that is positioned correctly will do this.

But there ain't nothing wrong with wearing goggles while ya solder.

I used to just use a fan, they really keep the smoke out of your eyes and nose, but they don't eliminate the smoke like a filtered solder extractor does.

They asked me how I knew my DIY-build was true
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh), I, of course replied
“Solder-joints here inside cannot be denied"
(Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, whoa)


They said, "Someday, you'll find all who build are blind
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh), when your trouble-shooting’s dire
You must realise solder-fumes get in your eyes"


So, I chaffed them, and I GAF-laughed
To think they could doubt my solder-joints
Yet, today, my solder has flowed away
I am without any signal (without any signal)


Now, laughing online-friends deride with jeers I cannot abide
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh), so I smile and say
"When a lovely 60/40 fries
Solder-fumes get in your eyes" (fumes get in your eyes)
Solder-fumes get in your eyes

I found these on thingiverse. Printed them out and got some computer fans off Amazon. They were 3 for $10. They are 12v but I run them at 18v so they pull a little more. I couldn’t find a 12v in my mystery box of goodies. They do a great job but I am positive you do much more than me. At 3 bucks a fan if I burn it up I can always get more.
