    I’m trying the Catepillar fan version. Question about another subject: disregarding these particular fan types aside, do you have any thoughts or research on impeller type-fans? My understanding was the impeller fans move a lot of air without encountering as much resistance as these types of fans. Correct me if I’m wrong.

    It's a real bummer how all of this is SO SO USA centric, I can barely make or do anything with all of this knowledge.. Furnace Filters are hard to find and seem to cost double of the US. None of the fan options are available in Europe (no CAT 14 inch, no maxx Air, no typical box fans, no AC infinity S12 or S14). I can only find cheaper floor fans, or very expensive industrial ones that are probably super loud. Also a toon of 20 or 24 inch fans that are enormous and don't fit an affordable filters. Shipping from your etsy shop to europe is crazy expensive, and you don't share any of the 3D files to print yourself....

    Do the pc fan CR box filters really push the same CFM at a fraction of the energy consumption of a box fan CR filter? Some clean air kits claim 7-10 watts!! That would make it over 10x more efficient than the air king box fan on its lowest setting!! 😮 Definitely something I want to consider, since it’s much quieter at almost the same claimed given CFM, if that were true.

    • @The3DHandyman
      @The3DHandyman 19 днів тому

      Sorry about this issue! The default Cloudlift design is for a 12" S12 fan. The number in the name of the fan indicates the size of the fan blades, not the hole for the fan. I do have an option for the 14" Cloudlift S14 but, as you noticed, the hole has to be larger. Please contact me through Etsy so we can figure out what happened with your order.

      @@The3DHandyman Ordered the model B that fit the 16 by 30 inch filter. The top has a 14 inch hole. So far so good. So using my apparently flawed logic I ordered an Infinity model S14 which to me would logically be 14 inches in diameter and fit the 14 inch hole. The model S14 is actually 16 inches in diameter to my surprise. Would not think there is any thing you could do except perhaps state don't order the S14 model.

      @@ArnieD17 That's right, the diameter of the S12 is 14in. The S14 at 16in wide is to large for kits that have filters smaller than 20in wide. The S14 is an option for the kit. In the Etsy description it has all those details but I think you have to click 2 buttons to actually view the description. Etsy seems to hide it for some reason. I want to get a website set up where I can make this sort of thing more clear but haven't made it that far yet. Hopefully you can return the S14 for an S12. They seem to be back in stock this week.

    So glad I found your videos! I’m wondering if you’ve ever thought about adapting your system to a mini split filtration system. I think Jay Bates has done a few videos on this topic. Also could be worth exploring using a quad filter with a mini split to see if it filters the air enough to still use the factory filter in the mini split. Mini splits are becoming popular in workshops and garages, so I think a product aimed at mini splits could be popular.

    If the top and bottom were 3 pieces maybe 1.5” then ?12?” then 1.5” the 2 “side filters” could be removed and the whole thing stored on the wall at maybe 5-6” thick.
