Another post about me cluelessly asking for input from fellow #soldering and #opensource enthusiasts:

What kinds of fume extractors are you using? I’m kind of annoyed with all the proprietary formats for HEPA filters out there. I’m considering crafting my own extractor, however what’s the best and cheapest way to get my hands on proper HEPA filters that I can reliably get for years? I don’t feel like buying some proprietary format and then be left with no options if they’re discontinued.

It’s mainly for occasional PCB soldering shenanigans but I still like to be ok the safe side in terms of filtration… please don’t suggest I hold my breath while soldering this isn’t Reddit. 🪦

Looking for the owner of a lost PCB from a SMD soldering workshop at #39c3! 🐱

This interactive cat board purrs when you pet it nicely but hisses if you rub it wrong. Left behind after Day 3 at Hardware Hacking Assembly - the only one not picked up after programming.

Video attached, and photo of unique 0402 practice grid in comments. Boost to help this PCB find its owner! (Assembly run by @maltman23, workshop taught by Kliment)
