Idea for an Inexpensive Charcoal Air Scrubber / Filter

Yeah, you'll be "printing" the green if you follow the drift of the product literature.

 

Good idea. The fan could also be used to pull air out of my basement in the summer.

 

If they haven't since you replaced all the lights in your paint booth with grow lights, they have bigger fish to fry. LOL

 

Thanks for this, will check it out.

A while back we were looking into an air scrubber for the shop to get rid of printer fumes and there weren't any options under $5k.

This would definitely be worth experimenting with, even if it takes a few of them to get the job done.

 

Hah, we've been using one of these to accelerate drying times on our prints for over a year. We've rigged up a mesh shelf which the printed roll sits on, then blow a fairly strong gust of air through the loosely rolled print for a couple of hours.

 

I don't think my employer would like it if I started setting up my grow equipment in my office.

 

Here is my solution. Its a Lakeair air filter hooked up to my printer using hoses and fittings for a saw dust collection system. I put 2 thick charcoal filters in it and it really kills the smell from my Mimaki solvent printer.

I also put it on a timer so it only runs for the 8 hours i'm in the shop.
