Do you have a recommendation for a home hobbyist fume extractor?

Not really, I bought a used one with a simple replaceable active carbon filter and place it near the open window. The most important thing is, that it is powerful enough to really EXTRACT and filter the fumes, not spread them in the room.

If you are in the basement without window, you probably need a better one with HEPA + active carbon.

I would say for hobbyists you should spend around 20 - 50 bucks for a used one.

Maybe also care about the loudness... these things are really bad ;)
