Bump!

Gumby's still killing the stink and I haven't changed the activated carbon !

Cool design!!!.
Just to improve on your idea slightly I would suggest that each joint be sealed with something like [say] silicone gel prior to screwing. Not all wood is flat nor can be cut 100% evenly so.... just to block the gaps. You wouldn't want, for example, to be sucking smelly air into the "fan chamber" through the joint along the fan chamber and expelling this unfiltered air. Sounds like your's was soundly constructed though, no gaps anywhere

Thanks. It took longer to plan and get the parts together than it took to make the thing from scratch. You're right about the caulking. I thought of that too but wanted the ability to disassemble without any problems from caulked joints. So I used lots of screws instead (I would have probably used lots of screws anyway along with caulking had I used some ). Cheers

Hey Quick haha tracking you down man shit, this is the only way i can drop a line to you, i guess you dont do messages........anyways was trying to put the DIY Controller together had some question wondering if you could help out ??

sounds like a winner. how often do you think you will need to switch out the charcole ?

i had a question about this, is it better to build a filter with the air being sucked through the carbon filter, or pushed through it, because yours has it set up being sucked through the filted and mines set up to push through

Hi OS, I'm guessing twice a year if you're running it full time. I haven't changed it yet though and it;s like a year + now and it still smells fine on the output side.

I could have designed it the other way but I figured that my fan would only be pulling clean air though itself helping to keep it clean and I would only have to clean the intake from the outside front of the unit. If I had configured the fan first then the filter, I would have to take the thing apart to clean the filter intake which would be located inside the unit. There's often more than one way to do things. Hope that helps.

Hey Hulk Nuts,

I've never put one together myself. I was looking for more direction from the thrads author but he never answered my question for diections on how to hook up to controller. I don't know where to begin. I just saw you question to me. No I don't check my messages. sorry for the the delay.

well in my eyes, air being sucked thru the filter makes it possible for any air leaks with flowering smells to be sucked thru also (not saying u got any) and pushed out of ur exhaust, with mine, if my filter doesnt cover the entire exit hole for my exhaust fan then it will also leak smells, that past im not too concerned about though becase i can build a good enough DIY filter to block enough odor of raw weed to say to the only person to smell it, my sister, that its my stash of good bud that i just opened the jar and smoked. What im more concerned about it the fan power if you are sucking it through the filter to the fan, or pushing air through the filter.. like if it loses cfm through positioning of the filter
