For those of you with the 10 speed fan in the OP, are you running it off 5v usb power or a 12v supply? The difference in minimum speed between them is pretty large. Im running it off an adjustable wall wart at 6v currently, just curious when y'all say youre running at minimum speed what voltage that minimum speed is at

Uhm, I have this 3xusb outlet that I put the usb in. I'm on a 240V grid :strokebeard:

I’m waiting on some parts to come in, and have some travel lined up for the next two weeks. Will be a minute before I can knock this out - but will post up when I do!

Yeah I also noticed the difference between 5V and 12V. I just figured it gives me an even wider range of operating speeds.

Can anyone tell me if this fan and usb fan speed controller will be good?

The fan itself has speed control but only hi-med-low so I'm thinking that I should get the usb speed controller to have better regulation of fan speed.

So 5v lol.

I have no skin in the game but can someone post a pic of the fan's nameplate? Id like to see its ratings please. Theres 3-24v variable transformers widely available and for cheap, but the motors would need the right contacts.

Nevermind i see the fan.

"At 5V, the fan speed ranges from 300 to 2500 RPM, while at 12V, it ranges from 1000 to 5000 RPM."

Twice the volts twice the watts twice the speed.

One would think the very minimum speed would be ideal, no?

It depends really and why I got them. I use the same humidifier for two dreamers, since one sits a lot higher then the other obviously the hose length to the one on top is longer. This results in the low dreamer getting a lot more fog and in order to keep the same conditions in both tubs(if that is what I want) I will have the top dreamer on the lowest setting(1) while the bottom dreamer with the shorter hose need to be at 2 or 3 in order to have the same conditions as the top dreamer, if that makes sense :lol:

Good thing with this dreamer placement and the 10 speed fans is that I can grow pans in the top dreamer and zapotecorum in the bottom one if I want :awesomenod:

I set my tub up but only managed to soak my pan trays, lol. I quickly figured out setting it to 85% doesn’t work. I went to set it up without referring back to this thread. 🤦‍♂️

I now have the fan set to run constantly at a low speed, then set the humidifier to 70%. I think the current tray is a lost cause, but next one may fare better. Still have one doing fine in a Fahster setup.

All of this frustrated me enough to start work on the new system. Maybe by 2027 I’ll have it all set up. :-|

Both are super easy voltages come by.
