@@GreenthumbsGarden Go for it yo, these things became dirtcheap and easy to get into. I bought it impulsively last year and it was the single best impulsebuy decision i ever made and i have used it for every single project since or was extremely handy when i needed a certain shape or bracket or whatever to repair something.

I picked this up for work. My last one was smaller th-cam.com/users/postUgkxtD9aJ2m6GU-X1IChQxjn9l31K1A7Kpwj and cuter but the motor burned out within a few months. This one's footprint is a tad bigger but it still doesn't eat up a lot of desk space. Its size and shape blends into the background nicely. This has a good size water container so I don't need to refill more than once a week. I use filtered (not distilled) water because cleaning up after our hard water is tough at work. I like that this has several settings. It's also very quiet. (I have a silence naxi in the next cubicle.) It also hasn't left that terrible while powder, so far, that some humidifiers leave. Been using this for a month or so now and am very happy with my purchase.
looks like a very nice humidifier! ill check that one out. Ive bought a huge misting module with 12 heads, the amount of mist it kicks out is crazy, I haven't had time to work out how to wire it up yet since we moved house but will have to make some time soon. The small humidifier I made in the video is only really good for keeping a small space humid like a cubit square meter or less, otherwise its working too hard and burns out. The big 12 head I have can fog out a room in a matter of seconds, so its working time will be a lot less in-between humidy levels been activated.
a mushroom grow room sounds fantastic! if its going to be a big growing space, i would suggest more misting nodules or buy one that has 6 or more modules on it. this w one in the video would be ideal for a meter square volume growing box max.
@@valroniclehre193 thanks Vorstel 😀 just to note; this device works well but I think better for a smaller grow area, maybe 1-1.5m3 and depending on air flow. It was on alot! Just to try and maintain that level of humidity in my tent. I bought a bigger mister with 12 heads, but not got round to making a new version yet, it will be the same thing just more power. Something that can come on for a minute and boom the humidity right to 100%. Also, use distilled water, or reverse osmosis, as tap water you will get a residue build up, and it will shorten the life of the mister. Would love to see it when you've finished! Share it on our discord server! Oh you might find this useful also, so you can hook the device up to a humidity controller: th-cam.com/video/FTGa0CsjxX0/w-d-xo.html
@@GreenthumbsGarden Oh I think there's a misunderstanding. I make board games. I'm going to use this design of yours to add atmosphere to my next presentation. The problems I was having are all solved by your innovative design. Specifically the need for frequent refills and the usage of only water.
Thanks Curtis, I bought a bigger module since, with 12 misting heads... Not had time to test it yet though..lol maybe I'll do a short vid testing it out
Thanks mate! I'm just editing the second part where you can connect the device up to a humidity switch. Hopefully I can have it out by tomorrow evening 🤠
depends, mine did not last long, about a month as it burnt out :/ it was on 24/7 because it was too small a device for the amount of space it was trying to keep humid, so it was never reaching the desired level I set in the humidity switch. I'm sure it would have lasted a lot longer if it was keeping a smaller space humid, like a 200l aquarium for example. Since then i Bought a much larger mister with 12 heads, its a beast, but I haven't put it together yet since the move.
Why do you think this stops running after a few seconds? At the end of the video it stops running. I mean the main ultrasonic humidifier itself. I tried it in different bowl in different water levels but it does the same thing before even starting this project. th-cam.com/users/shortsQTjyeZ2T7wk?si=tniPSMeNrakg9NYh
you might have a point, it seems like the price of these "office humidifiers" have come down a lot and I see no reason why it couldn't be used in a small greenhouse set up. This one for instance looks very good, could be modified easily to have a auto fill up. amzn.to/3lYOsAL
So sick of these "DIY" mist maker where they use the exact parts, with a couple household items and make a normal mist maker just like you buy online, "DIY" means "at home items that everyone would have" not 2 everyday items and the rest are parts from an actual mist maker ...
These are way better than the cheap ones you get on Amazon with wack mist. Diy is the best way unless you have the budget for an industrial unit for hobbyist purpose
@@GreenthumbsGarden it popped up on my feed... Yeesh, is this how you operate? Get an opinion that disagrees and go full on social media on me lmfao 🤣🤣🤣
When you drill out the large air holes, run your bit in reverse, and take your time with lite pressure. The hole will come out with a smooth, melted feel. A nice finish. I know we are just gonna cover it up but still you can never make something too nice now can ya.
what is that, like those smelly sicks you use in homes? im guessing that would add a very minimal amount of humidy to the air, it would add somthing, but very little.
it's a 230V AC to 24V DC LED Driver but you can use any power supply that is 230V AC (120V in America) to whatever the voltage is of his other bits like the fogger and fan.
Very, very nice men.
Its times like these im so glad that i own a 3d printer. Great tutorial
Man I'd love a 3d printer.

Boy I wish you made them for sell I’ll definitely but your #1 customer all the way from Minnesota
🤦🏾♀️🤣🦾
Well done 🏆
You can buy one very cheap. Cheaper than you can make one. Ebay way more inexpensive and they are UL listed!!
Stumbled across this looking for a way to add some spice to my booth at various cons. This is really handy information.
thanks mate, glad you found it useful!
@@GreenthumbsGarden I did! Keep up the great work.

Great idea for automation. Subbed. I will watch it.
Thank you for another Vid Alex... always great vids, cheers from 🇨🇦 Canada
Thank you too! great to hear from you :-)
Can i use a liquid fog disinfectant for this?
Subbed and unsubbed from most others. Your channel is awesome and down to earth, also I learned.
Thanks mate 🙂 hopefully I'll not be on the unsub list in the future 😅
Water and DIY electronics 🤔
Pls parts you use with p/n great idea.
thanks :-) added some necessary parts to the description.
We're going to find the trash and build it into the best expensive one
Is is, essentially, any different than a standard humidifier?
hello, for anyone cant do the DIY, you could buy a mist maker for aquarium is which actually better and its cheap
hi, put the drill in reverse for not cracking the lid.
Great tip Dirk! 🙃
Oh, that drill should not be used in reverse. It might pop up open, due to design.
how long does this tool last?
depends, mine did not last long, about a month as it burnt out :/ it was on 24/7 because it was too small a device for the amount of space it was trying to keep humid, so it was never reaching the desired level I set in the humidity switch. I'm sure it would have lasted a lot longer if it was keeping a smaller space humid, like a 200l aquarium for example. Since then i Bought a much larger mister with 12 heads, its a beast, but I haven't put it together yet since the move.
you could add a little filter to the input fan so you dont suck in insects
that's a good idea 😃

maybe its a fault with the misting module? very nice simple build mate! did a great job there :-)
@@GreenthumbsGardenthank you very much mate! Yours is more professional. I'll try to change the module. That thing runs me crazy
If I buy all of that....better let's buy a new humidifier

That's a great idea! thanks :-) never can be too nice! 😉
if that's hot glue i would probably recommend against using that because its not very water proof.
Would I be able to use one of those bottle diffusers instead?
what is that, like those smelly sicks you use in homes? im guessing that would add a very minimal amount of humidy to the air, it would add somthing, but very little.
Can u tell me what kind of power supply is this ?
it's a 230V AC to 24V DC LED Driver but you can use any power supply that is 230V AC (120V in America) to whatever the voltage is of his other bits like the fogger and fan.
Do you need the fan, can’t you just do it with an open lid?
the fan is what pumps the vapor out.
