Nice. But I would have just duct taped the filter to the fan and called it good.

The suction of the fan will hold a filter in place, but that’s not as much fun as

Really wish KZfaqrs would quit telling people to use square box fans without a proper circle shroud for DIY air filters. Half of the air your fan is moving is just recirculating air it's already moved. The shroud you tried to make is still too far in front of the blades to prevent it. Also... Wonky. Still, not nearly as egregious as "The 3D Handyman"'s video that included 4 options using unmodified square box fans.

Wonky... this is a neat build. I like the remote control and washable filter. I was thinking of building an alexa controlled smart switch inside mine. How long can you go between filter washes?

@ScorpionBuildsWoodworking 5 ай бұрын

Thanks, and Alexa control would probably work pretty good too. This is the first time I’ve used a washable filter. But I’m sure how often it Hass to be cleaned will depend on the amount of use and dust within the shop, and how good your dust collection system is throughout the rest of the shop?

@wachinpntdry. 5 ай бұрын

might seem like a good idea at first, but if that filter and housing are truly tight (hardly any air getting through that hasn't passed through the filter material) , it will restrict airflow enough to put more load on the fans motor than it's designed for.. the blades rotate slower while using same amount of energy to make waste heat... and quite possibly fan could also suck air in from the front side around the margins only to blow it back out the center without it ever being passed through filter fit that fan into a box made with 3 or 4 of the sides having filters... much more airflow, easier on the fan... and much more filter surface... capture 3, 4 times as much particulates before needing to replace (or clean) filters

@ScorpionBuildsWoodworking 5 ай бұрын

There is still a lot of airflow. I have been using a similar method for several years and so far I haven’t had any issues with overheating or a noticeable difference in air flow.

I wonder if you could have had more filters for the same amount of fan. When the cdc was recommending building these with duct tape they were putting the fan on one side of a cube and air filters on four others. Would have made it bigger fer sure…

I wanted a more slim design, but more filters could let more are through with less restriction

Rikon has an air filtration system for under $300. Not sure what you spent on materials for this, but for those of you that equate time with money, buying may be a better option than building. Just sayin’.

Wonky... One of these has been high on my list of things I keep meaning to build. The problem is, I only think about it when I'm smack in the middle of a project. Maybe this will be the year of the air filter for my shop. Great job, brother! KZfaq is also on my list, so if I build it, I'll try to record it and give you a shout-out for the design.

Just to help protect your lungs, those washable filters are great but don't help with the microscopic dust that does the most damage to your lungs, so this is a great additional aid but don't count on it for the entirety of your dust scrubbing! ❤

@ScorpionBuildsWoodworking 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for that, I Agreed. It’s just another tool to help reduce the dust in the air. It’s always recommended to wear a proper dust respirator. Even though I wasn’t wearing one in the video lol I also have a 3 micron filter on my dust collection system for the shop.

@travismcvey 5 ай бұрын

The only thing I'd done differently is built it so the whole fan sits inside as a unit. That way when the fan dies you can just swap it out instead of having to disassemble the new fan to fit the parts.

@ScorpionBuildsWoodworking 5 ай бұрын

Originally, I was going to do it that way, but decided to do it this way to make it a little more compact. But that is a good idea thinking ahead

@thomaspeltz8577 5 ай бұрын

Mr. Wonkie, why did you mount the hinge in that direction? Folded the other way would eliminate the gap. I would have also made the speed control easily accessible, just in case. Another consideration, the filter access is on one side and the wiring access is on the other side. This is ok for standing, but if you wanted to hang it, things change. Good job though, and for me, everything in my shop is "a work in progress".

@ScorpionBuildsWoodworking 5 ай бұрын

I guess I could’ve mounted the hinge to the top, it just didn’t cross my mind. I chose to mount all of the controls and wiring inside the box because I planned on using a remote to turn it on and off, and I have found over the years. The fan is always on high anyway.

@kkarllwt 5 ай бұрын

rwonki. the heavy stuff will settle out of the air in a few minutes. This will keep the air stirred up so that they stay in the air longer. The small stuff that gets past your mucus membranes will not be filtered out by that setup. It will still get into your lungs. AND, grossly overbuilt. 2 bungee cords would hold a filter to a box fan.

@ScorpionBuildsWoodworking 5 ай бұрын

When it’s hot out side there’s going be a fan running anyway, it may as well filter the air at the same time, and this is more fun then bungee cords
