Hello, can you recommend the most efficient method of smoke extraction for my electronics workshop? Thanks

open windows. Have a table fan blowing smoke, out of the room :-DD
Unless that linked video is your lab...then you'll need some duct work
Also, 3d printers are very dangerous to lungs when used in an enclosed space

I find over voltage or reverse polarity will do the trick. :-DD

Wow you are an smoke engineer :) Thank you.

I need a professional and energy efficient smoke extractor for the 3D printer and for the soldering station.
Here energy costs a lot and I would like to be environmentally friendly.
I would appreciate if you would recommend me a quality equipment.
Thanks

If you can't afford to run a fan, which is surprising since making electronics is already a very expensive hobby, relocate your stations for those 2 tasks and leave the rest, where they are... Or just breathe that smoke in and grow some hair on your chest. :P
Maybe, if you live near a beach or breezy location, you can maybe hire a aeronautical engineer to design a wind power sucking duct

If you cannot open a window, go outside or drill pipe holes in the wall, maybe an industrial vacuum cleaner (Henry) filled with activated carbon chips?

Hello, I could also open the window but I heat the workshop using a natural gas boiler and I want to be environmentally friendly. If I keep the window open or if I use a kitchen hood to evacuate the smoke and gases produced by the soldering station, I will release a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere. I don't want this to happen and that's why I asked for your advice.
Would a heat recovery ventilation system be good for my workshop?

Print with PLA or PETG only, nothing high temperature. Or get an air-tight enclosure for the printer.
Get a decent HEPA filter.

Oh...ok...Now I know the deal...You don't wanna let the hot air go out...While energy recovery ventilation does exist, you will need to use the best activated carbon filter with powerful fan for the job if you wanna recirculate the air.
