Immaculate build...

Curious if you could use plexiglass or another type of clear plastic material instead of plywood. Strictly for aesthetic purposes of course haha. Kinda like those see through computers.

thanks buddy :smile:

im sure it would work fine, but plexi is expensive and a bitch to cut, so i just lined the 3 inner surfaces with it and the bottom with steel

also it scratches fairly easily compared to wood

Don't use plexiglass aka acrylic sheet for the work surface whatever you do!

Hot pc will melt and warp it.

But you can use polycarbonate aka Lexan. More expensive than plexi but a good work surface for a hood if you can't find stainless steel.

That's one sick hood you made there.

yeah definiitely dont wanna use acrylic for the bottom

i really enjoyed the steel bottom on that one. so much so that when i built my new one i built it around a stainless steel table, which has been awesome!! so easy to clean and keep sterile

here's what I'm working with
36x24 fan
I'm going to extend the cuts on the sides to match the angle of the front face like your build but just didn't do it in the design -
couldnt figure out how to and it was late as fuck :dancer:

also steel is obviously better than aluminum but, is it worth the price difference?

It is for me, i use mine for other stuff yoo, and aluminum is too reactive and too easy to scratch imo

Looks solid! Extending the sides shouldnt be too tricky (just draw the lines straight) if you want, but remember you gotta get it through a door somehow , unless you are building it in its final location

the final dimensions are 3' 1 1/2", 3' 8 1/2", 2' 4 3/4"
If I put it sideways the depth is about 2 feet 5 inches which is almost exactly as wide as my doorways
soooo ur right, I hadn't thought about that but it should be fine, just will be tight
either way, I plan on working in my garage where I'll be building it
the quote I got on the filter was $270 before shipping (~$50)
seems kind of steep but the 24x24 was only $40 less :shrug:

I'm almost done with my build!
When you say you used pegs to secure the filter into place rather than the trim sandwich you're referring to the long nails with blunt ends, correct?
I see them on the sides of your final build but I don't really know where they're at on the inside of the cabinet...
You said they went into the filter housing but I'm still a bit confused.
Can't wait to show off my build when its done :dancer:

#27380025 - 07/09/21 01:47 AM (5 years, 1 month ago)

the filter model i used came from FP and is housed in aluminum extrusions

the extrusions have slots, which i lined up with the pegs in a way that they only fit the into the housing if the gasket is fully compressed, so when they are in place it is sandwiching the filter housing against the furrings VERY tightly

does that make sense?

Hello! I am grateful to the forum for the knowledge I received here. I hope I'm asking the right question. In Ukraine I have the opportunity to buy HEPA 61*61*15 cm with a nominal capacity of 1450 m3, and https://vikiwat.com/en/industrial-tube-fan-bdtx-250-220vac-50hz-1100m3h.html

did I choose the right set?

You need 600-670 m3/h airflow for this size filter, at whatever the resistance of the filter is at 90 fpm.

This fan claims to move that much air at 400 Pa (which is 1.6" w.g.) I don't buy those specs not on a 145 watt fan. Most of these axial fans don't move much air in heavy resistance.

It will likely work for your size though.
