I have a question. Why do Japanese spray booths tend to all follow this design? The fan is mounted on top, and there's a flow control board that allows paint to be sucked in from an opening on the bottom. On most western-style spray booths, the exhaust fan is mounted behind a large filter, where there is a negative pressure chamber that allows the paint to be sucked in through the filter.
Thank you for the question! I believe the design originates from a very popular booth, the Nero Booth, from a company called Gatto-Works. Apparently, it really works well, so people including myself are copying the design. Having the fan on top lets me have a much larger (thus powerful) one within a desk given space. If I put the same fan behind, I would need a really deep desk. The other benefit is the in take towards the top front side of the booth. This intake collects spray that gets reflected off the paint target. Having the narrower intake might be better for airflow, but I'm not too sure here.
@@MofutoraModeling Thanks for the info! I like building my own booths, so maybe I'll try this design next. What kind of filter do you use for the exhaust fan?
Hi! Nice, I've only built this one but it's doing very well so far, so I recommend trying it. I actually don't use a filter. Maybe I should, but up to now it's doing fine. The design make it so that the spray hits the back wall first before entering the fan, so a lot of the paint just lands on the wall. I didn't show it in the video but I added some plastic sheets to the walls so that I can just wipe the paint off.
Thank you for the question. I do have some build up, but so far no real issues. I think it helps that the flow path is bent, and the paint mostly hits the back wall first before moving up.
Hi thanks for the question. Yes, it should work for any of fan of the same type. The power may differ and might need some adjustments to the box and hole sizes.

@@MofutoraModeling I see! Yeah I definitely have to give this a try sometime. Thanks for sharing!
cool! hope it goes well!
Have you had problems with powdered (dried) paint building up in the fan? Thanks,

Thanks for the video, cool process bro
Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it!
Does it work with any fan of this type? Im asking cus my local stores don't have this particular model
Hi thanks for the question.

Where did you order online the MDF and cutting service?
Thanks for the question. I’m in Japan so this might not help too much but I ordered it from Okamoku through Rakuten-ichiba.
同じ図面でMDFカットを発注させていただきました！
コメントありがとうございます！
うまく組み上がること祈ってます！
@@MofutoraModeling お陰様で、本日完成しました。PPシートも内装に貼り汚れ対策もバッチリです。
お！素晴らしい！
Does the room still smell paint even with spray booth?
Yes, I can still smell the paint a little bit, if I leave the room once and come back in.
But its only slightly.
Thanks for the comment!
I make tomorrow same you!
Really? Nice!
Let me know how it goes!
