Even already owning version 2, I would not hesitate to buy version 3. You put a great deal of time and energy into building out these kits, and they are amazing. It makes easy for someone that just can't get enough time in the shop for shop furniture and appliances. Outstanding job,.

@The3DHandyman 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much for that feedback! Glad you are enjoying the second generation kit. Breathe easy, my friend!

@KaceyGreen 7 дней назад

My Model-B Carbon came in today, it was easy and quick to assemble and it's quieter than the cardboard monstrosity I taped together waiting for this to arrive. If you get the refillable carbon and the plus model fan for the wifi control don't put the three filters on first or you'll have to tweak the fitment.

@RyouConcord 2 месяца назад

@adriand6477 3 месяца назад

@@The3DHandymanAny chance you know if i can get this setup to work with my Honeywell Hf-910 fan?

@The3DHandyman 3 месяца назад

Probably as long as it would sit nicely in a hole. I will be adding a variation of the kit to my shop soon that allows you to make any size hole for any fan. There will also be free plans so you can make a wood version for any size fan as well.

@andysontag5336 3 месяца назад

It’s easy to see your designs are maturing. Nice work. It would be interesting to see if adding a decorative cloth “pre-filter” would be feasible. Similar to what IKEA does with their filters. The machined plastic sheet and legs look great, the filters are the only thing that make it look more like shop equipment rather than something you’d see inside a home. I’ve also thought about configuring the refillable carbon so that it’s outside the filters. That way you wouldn’t need to worry about carbon dust and it would be compatible with any fan. I haven’t quite figured out the best way to do it, but a thin frame with window screen on the front and back would probably work. Some type of reinforcement would likely be needed to prevent it bulging out due to the weight of the carbon granules. A rectangular refillable carbon filter frame could be a new product for you.

@The3DHandyman 3 месяца назад

I am working on pre-filters for these and they will be out some day soon. I'm starting with the round filters first, then trying the larger ones. Cutting the fabric to size perfectly is a challenge. I did a test that I will show off in my upcoming VOC video that applies a thin layer of carbon to the outside of the filters and I honestly did not see much benefit from it. Box fans also cant really handle the static pressure created by the extra obstruction. I do really like the idea tho, so I may experiment with it more before the video is done.

@Fusion_Woodworking 3 месяца назад

Very well thought out design

@mikesionu 3 месяца назад

ok this is cool but I wish I would have seen the kits before I built the wood version from you plans, thanks for those. While the wood one is fine, these look better and would have saved me a couple for days work! good luck

@frankmycho Месяц назад

Hi Handy 😜 what do you think about the Caterpillar 9in drum fan ? I want to build a quad filter box with 16x25 filters to have a slim profile box. I think the 9in drum fan would be a good fit for this box size.

@The3DHandyman Месяц назад

Yes, that should work just fine! I think I replied to you on Etsy tonight. I think you could also fit it on a 14" wide filter box if you wanted to go even smaller.

@JeffMcJunkin 2 месяца назад

Great work as always! What's your timeline for getting the ceiling-mounted Model B?

@The3DHandyman 2 месяца назад

Thank you! I am hoping to have that video out either this weekend or later next week. There is a lot going on at the moment and I'm running a bit behind.

@WeeIrishLaddie1 3 месяца назад

Why is it best to have the box fan pulling air through the filters rather than pushing but it's different for other fans?

@Lyoishi 3 месяца назад

I can't speak for his results specifically, but all fans handle static pressure differently. Static pressure, in this case, is basically the ability of a fan/blade design to still push air successfully as the pressure increases, usually on one side of the fan. A specific side of a fan design can sometimes handle pressure much differently. The fan likely just fails to move much air while running in that specific orientation.

@The3DHandyman 3 месяца назад

Good question! Technically this can be done but the Box fan motor is not enclosed so it can collect a lot of dust and in certain environments (like wood dust) that could be a fire risk. In-home use would probably be fine in this configuration but the motor will still get dirty. I have tested the Push method with a Lasko fan and it performed well with 20x30" filters (33min to remove smoke from the air vs 46min in the pull mode). An Air King box fan would probably not benefit as much, if at all, because it has a lot more space inside the fan enclosure and the air just circulates around in that area without being forced through the filters. Box fans can also struggle to overcome the static pressure created by very dirty filters, so in the long run efficiently would likely suffer more vs a Drum fan.

@ronchambers7972 Месяц назад

Great videos. And I appreciate the many options test data. After watching the videos I am still wondering which would work best for my environment. Question: I live in a 1000 square foot, 2 bedroom apartment in hot/humid South Florida with central AC. Opening windows here is rare. I am doing renovations while living in the apartment, including non-asbestos popcorn ceiling removal and sanding drywall. After doing some drywall sanding in a room that had the door closed, I do see evidence of airborne sanded particles throughout the apartment. Do you think one of your CAT drum with 4: 20"x30" filter units be sufficient for my environment? Or would I need multiple units? I am assuming the filter should be in the room where the work is being done. After the air in that room is scrubbed should it then be moved throughout the apartment to scrub the other areas? Or better to have additional fan/filter units in those areas?

@The3DHandyman Месяц назад

Thanks for watching! You could start with 1 of the drum fan kits for use in the room that you are working in. One thing I did was use a Model-G (single filter on box fan) kit out in the hallway by the room that I was working in. This helped to capture any dust that leaked out of the room. One other thought is to be sure that the vents in your work room are closed/taped off so that dusty air is not blown out of the room when the system kicks on. You don't have to leave it like this when you are not working in there, but at least when you are working it will help prevent dust from escaping the work area.

@oldshield 3 месяца назад

any thoughts on performance improvement with a filter on the bottom?

@The3DHandyman 3 месяца назад

All the tests that I ran indicated that the 5th filter on the bottom doesn't help performance much unless the unit is way off the ground so that air can get to the bottom filter. Using 4 larger filters is a great way to add more filter area without the design complexity of adding a filter to the bottom.

@ArtByKevinZapata Месяц назад

The square black bottoms and tops look like wood, but you said plastic, are they wood or plastic?

@The3DHandyman Месяц назад

They are plastic. I stopped using wood because it warps, splinters and needs sanding or painting. Very labor intensive.

@adriand6477 3 месяца назад

Wow you been busy! Great job man! I seriously think you need to look into pc fans Artic cooling p14S with 2 either 16x25x1 or 20x20x1 for places like a living room where space is premium. It obviously doesnt do rhe same cfm as a 4 filter design but its super quiet.

@adriand6477 3 месяца назад

Is the Noctua design one, still using the ac infinity with just the noctua grill because that is smart!

@The3DHandyman 3 месяца назад

I'll definitely do a PC fan build some time this year. The space issue is a good thought. The AC infinity inline fan is really compact and powerful but it is expensive and absurdly loud at high CFM levels. After installing that fan it really needed a cover and that Noctua 200mm grill fit perfectly.

@ArtByKevinZapata Месяц назад

Are the fans included in the kits?

@The3DHandyman Месяц назад

They are not. The kit includes the frame and all the fan attachment hardware but no fan or filters.

@ArnieD17 21 день назад

Right now I am incredibly frustrated. Have the model B with a 14 inch diameter hole. Ordered the the AC Infinity Cloudlift AS14 and surprise the fan is 16 inches in diameter and doesn't even come close to fitting the14 inch diameter hole.

@The3DHandyman 21 день назад

Sorry about this issue! The default Cloudlift design is for a 12" S12 fan. The number in the name of the fan indicates the size of the fan blades, not the hole for the fan. I do have an option for the 14" Cloudlift S14 but, as you noticed, the hole has to be larger. Please contact me through Etsy so we can figure out what happened with your order.

@ArnieD17 21 день назад

@@The3DHandyman Ordered the model B that fit the 16 by 30 inch filter. The top has a 14 inch hole. So far so good. So using my apparently flawed logic I ordered an Infinity model S14 which to me would logically be 14 inches in diameter and fit the 14 inch hole. The model S14 is actually 16 inches in diameter to my surprise. Would not think there is any thing you could do except perhaps state don't order the S14 model.

@ArnieD17 21 день назад

@@The3DHandyman So guessing the S12 has an actual diameter of 14 Inches not 12.

@The3DHandyman 21 день назад

@@ArnieD17 That's right, the diameter of the S12 is 14in. The S14 at 16in wide is to large for kits that have filters smaller than 20in wide. The S14 is an option for the kit. In the Etsy description it has all those details but I think you have to click 2 buttons to actually view the description. Etsy seems to hide it for some reason. I want to get a website set up where I can make this sort of thing more clear but haven't made it that far yet. Hopefully you can return the S14 for an S12. They seem to be back in stock this week. They have been a bit scarce since I launched this video.

@iq0099 3 месяца назад

Amazing. They are over priced for 4 aluminum legs, 2 tops! Besides, most of us already built our own version of these filtration boxes. I love the snug filter snap-in ideas.. Good work.

@mikropower01 3 месяца назад

No it is not overpriced. Look how much time you use to build this by your own, so that it works and fit in place. He have created his IKEA-like filtering system, but with a good video and not some cryptic images on paper.

@andysontag5336 3 месяца назад

I wouldn’t say they’re overpriced. HDPE sheet isn’t cheap and the machining takes a lot of time and specific tools. You can DIY a similarly performing setup but it won’t look as nice and it’ll take longer.

@The3DHandyman 3 месяца назад

"Overpriced" is easy to say when we are all used to buying things made in low cost countries with million dollar production lines and budgets. Small businesses don't have that luxury. That said, I know they aren't as cheap as I would like them to be but I literally can't make them for less. That's why I do the free plans for these kits 👍

@iq0099 3 месяца назад

Don’t get me wrong. I really love the professionally polished product duct. If I would ship it to my country it’s going to be another $190 without customs. 🛃and tax. I could get those same parts and build my own. In fact this is what I have. Box - like for my filtration laser engraver with inline exhaust fan using aluminum bars. The base is 18mm chip board.

@The3DHandyman 3 месяца назад

Oh for sure. That definitely adds a huge amount to the cost. I wish our shipping system could give remotely decent rates to any other country. Especially Canada. I mean, its practically the same place.
