I've had couple of soldering fume extractors before. First one didn’t have enough power, and second one was just a fixed box without any articulating options, in many cases i could not find good position for it, it was too low or far behind.​
Of course, in my case I like my stuff to be nice and stylish, not only practical, so i had to build a base that matched with my other equipment. I wanted to give my fan some personality, some robot like appearance. Maybe with some style of vintage devices.

Here are the main components i used for this build:
---------------------------------------------------------
Somekind of articulating holder (phone holder, magic arm, gooseneck, etc)
Powerful 80mm DC 12v 1.6A fan - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32339...
Activated Carbon Filter - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/40001...
DC power jack - 5.5 * 2.5mm - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32973...
PWM Module for motor speed control - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32878...
Switch for power on / off - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32992...
M3 nuts, bolts, washers.

Optional:
Wood and acrylic for the base and fan frame.
LED's for extra effect/lighting.
