Default PC Case Fan (3inch) DYI Carbon Filter
Hey all,

Having not liked the designs of (or my implementation thereof) activated carbon scrubbers, I decided to try a dif approach. The loose granulated activated carbon can be VERY dusty. I found at walmart replacement filters for odor eliminating units ($9 for four pieces 5" x 9" give or take), i've seen them used here before as well. I used some left over quarter inch poster board for the frame, built the frame around a 3 inch pc fan and let it stick up and about a half inch, then just taped the filter material over it...i may double up the filter sheets if it's not effective enough. my cab exhausts to my attic, and two days ago i went up to the attic and the smell was pretty strong...so i threw this together yesterday, put it on, and in the attic this morning there was no smell...so it seems to be working for now. here's some pics:
peace

I love the nice simple design. one thing about those filters though, be careful not to bend them or the carbon stuff spills out a lil bit and can make a mess.
