Who's got the best DIY flowhood design?

Clearly there are hundreds of options out there. Could you guys help me narrow it down a little? Looking for a quality design.
Workflow will be agar and bags. 2 person station preferably (space is not a consideration).
Thanks!

It's just a box with a fan on the top or underneath with a filter in the front, that's about it. You can add sides but if you're working with multiple people I'd go without.

OP, took me months to learn the concepts behind plenum, fan HP, filter thickness etc. If I can help in any way, including showing you one of the ones I've built with measurements, I'll help.
If you need it for two though why not search around for a used one? They pop up pretty frequently and can be had for very little. Ask auction shops, industrial machines companies, etc. Two people chipping in can buy a lot more than you think. I've seen huge ones go for $200, just keep looking on CL and FB auction houses.

Thanks SirSoaksAlot! I would love to see your creations If you have one that is 24 x 48 that would be ideal.
I have been looking at this simple design but I cannot locate the same blower/filter combo (the filter is harder to find):

I'll keep my eyes peeled for some used ones as well, but will likely just build new.

I used that build layout from freshcap as a rough guide. Worked great. It was all I needed. Just adjusted any measurements to fit my blower and filter

I'd like to believe that my design is a good one. And since I included a CAD file, it provides a nice starting point that can be easily customized.

Same here, minus the fan housing. They have a video on YT following the build with instructions.

So i found this filter:
https://www.globalindustrial.ca/p/hvac/filters/HEPA-Filters/koch-filter-9999-biomax-hepa-24-inch-w-x-48-inch-h-x-5-7-8-inch-d
- initial resistance in W.G is 1.5 - approximately 1000 CFM at a flow rate of 125 FPM
Please help with blower combo. Thanks a bunch!

You need a blower that bushes 1k CFM @ 1.5"SP, you'll have to do some searching.
