Now am in process of making of of these suckers ... but using a pc fan and tought how about mounting the pc supply in one of the corners of the box to slightly act as a heater...? If this is possible?

Might be able to give off some slight heat to help without overheating the pc supply...

If i was to use a pc fan i'd be very cautious,the key to not getting mold is to have a constant air flow,im not sure a pc fan would be up to the task once the bud dryer was packed full,you need to pull fresh air around every last bud top & bottom,seems a huge task for such a small cfm volume fan.

How about this for an economical heat source. Use a 50 or 100 watt incandescent light bulb inside a coffee can (to block the light since you need to dry in the dark) inside the box. Or, a small box or galvanized steel duct with the bulb inside it outside of the dryer's intake and a light trap connecting it to the dryer. You could control the internal temperature with a ductstat inline thermostat (available at Home Depot or Menards) hooked up to the bulb.

Personally I think this idea rocks, Simple and 4 days in enough for me to dry.

Carbon filtering for a box like that can be as simple as buying a 'cut to fit carbon filter, about $9.00 at Menards and fitting it over your holes. I put it over all of the intake and out flow when I built mine. The filter is 48" by 16", even covering the basket for the muffin fan I used it only took one filter. Bud Dryer VV

Hey victor,im a bit slow so can you help me out

What are you using for the heat source ? from what im seeing in your pics & reading in the thread the food dehydrator is the heat source correct ?

This is the obstacle im struggeling with right now,i think if i can raise the temp to a constant 80 degrees i can cut my drying time in half,ive got a massive cola getting ready to come down thats so dense it worries me, i cant bring myself to chop it up for drying,i think the added heat source speeding things up will assure no mold.

Ya know,there should be a seperate forum where members can post all the DIY stuff they've made,if i had seen your bud dryer before i sat & thought about mine,along with looking at Al Fuct's dryer it woulda made my job much easier.

yes, i was talking to a guy who did the light bulb idea but in a wooden cupboard and just blew a pc fan onto the built under a upside down bowl to distribute heat... he reckons it worked a treat and thinks that what i just built (this idea) is not going to work.
