TH-cam recommended this vid to me today, GREAT JOB on the build! Thanks for the link in your description! Your method is probably the lowest cost way to do it (when you factor in the tools), I'm sure it will help a lot of people. Someone also said they used a good sticky tape instead of silicone sealant and that worked for them too.
Cool thing. 🥳😎👌🏼
Been building one since yesterday too. 😂👌🏼
But I built an extra intermediate chamber for the air that is sucked in.
A UV-C lamp (15 watts) was installed in the area for pre-filtration.
Love your music suggestion, listen to them often. Thank you for sharing this info.
Funny I had this recommended today. I just made mine last night.
Thanks for sharing
getting ready to build this soon, got my filters yesterday!
Hell yeah, dude! 👌👊
What's funny is I made a contraption similar to this to try and make an automated grow chamber and failed miserably, but now I have a plastic tub with a fan in it that I may be able to use for this
Excelente hermano
If I had to do it again, I would use a bigger container. Alternatively, I would have placed the fan in the back, bottom corner and the HEPA filter to the left of the container instead of the middle. I notice that there is some overlap with the side of the filter and the fan chassis. In that region, airflow is reduced. Also, I use it upside-down because I notice that the overhang caused by the lid causes eddies of turbulent air. When I flip it, I can avoid that turbulence better. Also, I highly advise using DAP Ultra Clear instead of any kind if silicone, it's way easier to work with and bonds better to poly/plastics.
How big of a container would you recommend? A 100qt perhaps? Fan in the back bottom right? Filter or both filters on the front left? Good ideas for sure
Nice thanks for sharing this. Going to try this but with 6" ac infinity fan, 8" isnt available. Hopefully its enough to get the job done
Was the 6” enough??
@@Wesleyholla I have slacked on building it, but bought the materials and 6"fan. plan to build in the next few weeks, I will let you know how it goes
Coming from Gordo's Tek, I'm definitely gonna be making this
Will any type of inline fan work? Cos I can't seem to get this exact brand where I'm at,thank you
See, I'm too uneducated tbh. Monkey see monkey do for me 😅😂 I'm sure any adjustable inline fan will work nicely. I was thinking to myself that if I wasn't able to get the one I got here, I was just going to order one of those 4" exhaust fans they use on cannabis grow tents. Might be overkill though. 🙂
I got everything to build mine, I could not find the filters with that plastic frame around it.
Here's my affiliate link to the ones I used :) amzn.to/4504KMp
Some rubber under the washers may help against the acoustic resonance
Appreciate the "supportive" tip. Literally and figuratively 🥳
@@JSquared3214 No problemo
do you use the carbon filter portion that comes with the filter package?
I do not. I saw that nice filter and was trying to think of what else I could use it for 🙂
@@JSquared3214 thank you
@@JSquared3214 see some putting filters over intake of blower. Not carbon filter
@@jimromer4403 I do have intake filters I bought for a different project. All it would need is like a ring adapter to work. I might try it! I bought filters for my 4 inch inline fan and it cut the flow down a lot 😔
plastic corrugated board is the material you might like , plenty of it laying around .... keep your town clean ....
I swear I got this same ac infinity fan n the back of a small dresser and put filter n front and made the same thing almost
That is some neat thinking using a dresser! Love to hear it!
Pizza Break!!
Can I use a bigger hepa filtr?
I'm not sure tbh. I'd imagine you could, but I am no aerodynamic expert. My only concern that comes to mind is filter and fan pressure ratios, which I am very uneducated about.
@@JSquared3214 it can be calculated.
@@PPP-on3vl True, they should have certain calculator apps on websites. I just don't know of any good ones to link you right off the top of my head.
Gordo showed a guy who used the same sized fan but two filters built into a wood cabinet and he said it was fine
Can anyone recommend an AliExpress fan? Thank you.
Does it work?
I used it a bunch of times before I went back into hiatus. Never had one issue. :)
blu painters tape will change your life '''''' ............!!!

That isn't actually going to get you true laminar flow, but it will suffice as an FFU.
However, you have no prefilter to extend the life of the HEPA filter, and you have sealed the HEPA filter inside that box with no way to change it without removing all of that silicone. So in probably less than a year that thing is going to be blowing all kinds of contaminates everywhere.
I fully agree with you in all aspects. When I was putting it together I was thinking of a way to add a way to remove/replace the main HEPA filter. A little while later I was thinking of a way to add a pre-filter to the fan. I hope to have a professional setup sometime in the future, but I wanted to try this out. I cover up the main filter in between uses with the piece that was cut out from the bin.
Used it a total of three or four times and have been extremely fortunate with no contam yet. I do agree though. Like you said, probably a little while later and I won't be having too good of a time. Especially if I leave it exposed to the environment.
Thanks for your comment!
@@JSquared3214 maybe you could make a little frame that the filter fits very snuggly inside of, and silicone the frame. Otherwise I'd say build the entire thing out of wood. I think you can spray those filters down with lysol periodically as well.. might extend it's life.
Actually… over time as the HEPA filter loads it becomes even more efficient/cleaner but the blower fan will struggle to maintain ample flow especially the type of fan shown in this video.
A true HEPA filter will have a designated flow rate cfm/mps at a specific static pressure in in/hg or Pa… so a clever fella would put a pressure gauge in the plastic tub and dial in the desired static pressure spec’d for that particular HEPA with the rheostat and the cfm/volume will be in the filters sweet spot for velocity and cfm (laminar flow)
@@svgs650r so you're saying that proper laminar flow hoods don't have to replace their HEPA filters ever?
@@DangerRussDayZ6533 ummmm… no I didn’t say anything of the kind.
A filter on the low pre/intake side of the blower fan Ex. MERV-9/10 will greatly extend the life of the HEPA filter on the high pressure/discharge side of the blower fan.
This was stolen from 7suns poor man’s flowhood
If I knew about the 7suns build, I would have done that. I feel like 7suns' build is more rubust than this setup.
Inspired by or stolen? Different style filters, different style box, and different style fan. Seems like gordotek may have used 7suns poor man's flowhood design as a proof of concept, but to me its a pretty different (but similar) design🤷🏻 looking to build something similar this weekend, so thanks for mentioning the 7suns one, I hadn't seen his build before today. The write up has a lot of great detail too!
It's not like it has a patent. Thanks for the tutorial. Some great or comments in here as well with helpful tips to improve it. I'll check out 7suns too but I'll subscribe to you.
@@JamesGough1 Appreciate you coming aboard the channel. The fun thing is, it's cheap and it's really worked for me this whole past spring. It was fun to film the build as well as learning from Grodo himself. Neat stuff! Have a good rest of the week there.
@@jeremykenward3082 Yes I had never even heard of 7suns build before, I just looked it up, uhh NO, my design is nothing like his haha other than the fact that they are both laminar flow boxes. He uses expensive filters and fans and a wooden box, and seems to be claiming its a great way to go if you can trash pick a fan? Hahah... smh no I would not recommend his design at all. Also he uses side walls / fins, this is NOT recommended, if you look up modern portable professional laminar flow units sold for the medical industry, you will see they do NOT use side walls/fins, that is obsolete thinking, they actually cause a vacuum to form which results in turbulent air (the opposite of what you want).
I did this with just duct tape
