Building a Blower (Small Dust Collector #2) 

I enjoy the way you are incorporating the CNC into your normal work flow to make the job easier.

The air flow test was quite funny. I like your technique for halving the time on the CNC machine.

You are truly an intelligent and practical young man. It's really a pleasure watching your videos. Wishing you lots of success in life. 🙏🏻

Marius, you are fast becoming one of my favorite youtube channels. Such a good mix of honesty, quality work, nice editing and good humor! Love the blower test hehe :D

You really need to test the current draw with the blower in the housing. An unloaded blower that is open like you tested it before you started cutting it smaller will try to move more air than one that is enclosed and will draw far more current. If it still draws more current than the motor is rated for when you have the blower in a housing you can lighten the load on the motor by blocking the inlet to the blower with an orifice. Your piping for your dust collection system may actually restrict the flow enough that the current would drop when it is connected negating the need for an inlet orifice. Beautiful build job! You have some nice equipment and the talent to use it! Retired engineer here.

Absolutely amazing build Marius! The attention to detail is evident in the final result. The insertion of the vanes with glue was tricky regarding short time and in order to maintain balance, but you accomplished it like a pro! Nice find on the pliable plastic for the blower and the Thein baffle. Obviously you are happy with the results by looking at the smile on your wind blown face after testing. Haha

I see the experience and engineering behind this work take more years than your age. Though it is awesome work from you and the person behind the seen

Very very very nice. Excellent project and build Marius.

You have got to be one of the smartest kids on the Tube! Keep up up the great work!

I've been following you for awhile now and really enjoy your work...inspires me greatly !

Another quality build , a very nice feature is your version of the blower appears to run quieter than most of the commercially available metal/plastic units perhaps the wood absorbs the noise much better ? Plus it isnt the same thing everyone has i personally like custom and one of a kinds better when everything is the same it gets boring Plus saving some weight will make it easier to install it in a tight area

Nice job so far on the build. I can't wait to see the final project. I need to build up some kind of dust collection and you're giving me ideas.

Another nice & interesting build. Enjoyed watching. Thks.

Saubere Arbeit. Freue mich schon auf das nächste Video.

Another awesome build video. Your channel is one of my favorites nowadays.

Nice project you have going on. Also the higher video frame rate is much nicer. Thumbs up!

Excellent work Marius on both the project and the video. Always enjoy your channel.

awesome I totally enjoyed this video, you have great patience and skill keep up the great work.

Awesome video, great work, impressive engineering. Thanks for sharing!

Great build. A couple of questions:- Are there any plans available? What rpm is the motor? Hoping to build one similar to this to wheel between machines rather than a centralised system.

what great work you're doing (or, did now that I see the date)! As a structural engineer this mechanical stuff is so interesting.

Marius, I love all the outtakes: they're great. Also, I noticed that you affixed the screen with screws. Do you have an air compressor and staplers? I use mine all the time, and it makes things work easier. Just a thought. You're a real genius Marius. Keep up the fire.

instead of making it smaller you could also have used some pulleys with a v-belt...ofc you know that transfer would create a lower speed...btw dein englisch ist sehr gut!

Hi Marius! I've watched lots of your dust extractor videos. Do you think it would work to transfer the same method to make a much larger Thien with perhaps an 8" impeller? I'm thinking you would need to have a wider slot and bigger diameter housing. I look forward to your reply!

loved the blow test!

Good job

I think it's different its got a green fan cover

outtakes remind me of chuckie Chan :D Nice videos Marius. gj

Very nice work as always! :D

Nice work!

las maquinas lo es todo ...

Keep up the gr8 work

Have you made your plans available for purchase? Thanks for sharing.

This is turning out really well! I have to ask, how do you get the spiral shape for the blower housing in sketchup?

Excellent videos....

Great progress on the build Marius. I am really enjoying this series. You do some real high quality work my friend. Looking forward to part 3

nice work....

Is it the Motor from a garden waterpump ??? I think we have one of this .

Hallo Marius,wunderbarer Blower Test.Kannst du bitte am Ende deines Projektes die Kosten und deine investierte Zeite auflisten?GrüßeSebastian

could something like this be used as a lawn vac if powered with a gas motor

Do you offer any free plans for building the blower for the small dust collector?

Nice

Best jobs Man nice video !! But i have one indutrial hahahaha !! Like this!!

Schon klar war ein Scherz!

Great video! Does anybody know where PET plastic is commonly available in Canada? Is this the kind of thing available in most building centres?

what is the model motor your using.

Love the video I made one two

This is really really good!!! Thank you.

WHAT BRAND SOCKETS AND RATCHET IS THAT ?

deutche.....heeeeeeeeeeeee

What is this transparent material that you use?

À quê é irmão Paulo da praia acau Paraíba gostei da mandá mais à paz para todos

Could you make an estimate what the cost is to make this?

Excellent and precise work! I like it ;)

Saya suka melihat video tutorial anda,menjadi inspirasi saya,teknik dan alat yang digunakan sangat modern..terimakasih.

I think we've found Matthias's match in you :-) Impressive build so far!

Your videos are always very entertaining and your work is of the highest quality. Yours is one of only a couple of channels that I look for new videos every week. :) Thanks for sharing your talents with us. I look forward to the day you move to a larger work shop, I can only imagine just how much more you'll be able to do with more space, you deserve it. I hope you never stop sharing your efforts with us.

Love this project! Lots of good tricks. You gotta upgrade your spindle to a trim router with a 1/4" bit. You'll be surprised how much faster it makes the x carve.

Thanks Marius. I appreciate it. I I have trouble in the past getting good DXF when using the plugin. I'll give it a try with your process.

Супер канал ! Отличная мастерская ! Очень нравятся Твои идеи ) Привет из Беларуси ) Палец вверх и подписка ! Great channel! Excellent joinery home! It is like your work) Hello from Belarus) Thumbs up and subscribe!

Great build, Marius! A suggestion: chamfering the leading and trailing edges of the vanes might give less current draw and also make it quieter.

Most probably epoxy won't even stick in PET plastic. Nice build though.

Excellent video as ever. Do you come up with your own solutions to the various problems you come across? Or do you just google it like the rest of us :)

Would a 6400 RPM treadmill motor work for something like this?

Nice build: Clear & easy follow with good techniques & materials: pet plastic is a new & interesting material to me.

I've recently found your channel and I've got to say I love watching you and your projects, I find the idea of solving lots of issues with self made devices to be extremely impressive. I've been binge watching your videos, I can't stop and can't wait for the next one!!!!

14:43 Marius, you should have left your hair standing after the 'in your face' test. Add a heat element, and you would have a hair dryer.

The motor draws less power in the casing because there's slightly less intake so how much does it draw when the intake is covered?

Brilliant execution! I would like to make one of these for my shop!

Hi Marius! you don't mention the vanes or plower height! thanks

Maybe use this to suck in outside air on a nice day? You could use a flange on the intake to route tubing outside the walls in order to suck in fresh air.

Very good ,مكن نعرف الطريقة الصحيحة لاستخدامك في صناعة الفان من مادة الحديد thank you

hey marius ich hab da mal ne frage: ist es besser wenn der zyklon vom durchmesser her eher größer oder kleiner ist ? ich frag deshalb weil ich bisher nen dustcommander in betrieb hatte und jetzt auf DN 110 wechseln will, allerdings ist mei meinen gebläse der durchsatz im keller wenn ich da von DN 110 auf 50mm verkleiner. also selbst bauen. is halt nur die frage wie groß. 400 oder 600 mm durchmesser . oder noch kleiner ??? gruß dirk

Hi Marius :) are the impeller discs made out of 6mm Birch Plywood? I can`t really tell... Thank you !

What is the source of your motor? With the handle, it looks like it could have been a router.

I have a fairly large motor I want to use for a dust collector (2hp, 220v). Would you recommend higher/wider propellor wings or a larger diameter? Also, how did you know how many propellors to use? and how close to the center to place them? Thank you for the explanation on how the distance from the edge makes a difference. Thank you!

Marius, great video! I want to make some similar for my workshop. But give an advice. What sizes of empiller I should use for 3 phase motor which 90 watts (0,12 hp)\2800 rpm ? I will connect it to 3 phase line without capasitors.

So I've been googling around how you're supposed to draw the *arcs* for the blades for the impeller - is there a wrong and a right way to draw them? I'm assuming that depending on how the arcs are placed the more efficiently the impeller pushes the air. If it doesn't really matter then I guess I can just draw whatever looks good to me. Anyone know of a good source I can see how the arcs should be drawn for an efficient impeller? I see *how* Marius did it by hand, but it doesn't show *how it should be drawn.* I hope this makes sense and I appreciate any help or suggestions. Is it just a bunch of circles drawn in tangent with the center-point? Marius - kick ass videos. Very helpful.

Hi marius ! How does the small dust-collector is almost 3 years later ? Is it still as good as in the beginning ?! I want to build one myself simular to yours... can you maybe tell me some calculations you need to calculate, when you'r designing a dustcollector? Yours, Bram

You are a very clever bloke, thank you for a very interesting video.

Wow! Fantastic build and edit. Looking forward to next part. Also love the outtake section :-)

Excelente trabajo,y divertido con el añadido de las tomas falsas

Great video! Curious...how much horse power does your motor have?

Szupi mert halandó ember el nem késziti.föleg ha nincs enyi szerszáma

I can't help thinking that it would be even better if you didn't have that large gap between the edge of the rotor and the housing / clear rim. Or is this gap normal? Cheers.

Hola Soy German desde Argentina... impresionante el colector de aserrin. muy bien explicado y buena terminacion. Felicitaciones

Excellent video! The only thing I wonder about is if the mesh on the screen is too fine and will clog or slow air-flow too much. If possible I would have used a mesh about 5 times as coarse. I love your videos! Please keep up the great work!

LOL...the outtakes are great - Look forward to part 3 of this build.

Great build so far Marius! Can't wait to see it completed!!

Üblicherweise sind die Schaufeln anders angeordnet wenn man maximalen Durchsatz möchte...

You do best but blower size is big motar same but blower small pleez done pleez pleez

Awesome progress, the blower came out great, looks pretty powerful too! Can't wait for the next part!

a smaller housing would generate alot more vacuum. In this state its very inefficent :/ I i love the design and you did a great job

So much skill and workmanship in one so young, brilliant. Regards

Respect, Allroundtalent like you ... I like it ... you can construct, you can talk foreign languages and you can realase so different projects. Respect

Great job! I do apreciate the method of get the impellers positioned.

Great job, dude. You could use an digital anemometer to probe the air flow. There are cheap units for test airplane and helicopters R/C models.

haha, love it ... you're right, there was only one good way to test that!

Marius. :) Does not it follow that the items are caught? I can not expect. :)

Thank you Marius for your prompt reply. I wish you all the very best with your Engineering studies.John from Australia.
