Version 2 of my clean chamber project appears here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=29602

That clean chamber looks okay (except for the chicken coop look) but it would cost $773 USD delivered here (Ottawa, Canada). Mine cost me $288 CAD plus some of my time over 12 days.

Hey Larry,

how are you getting on with this project, looks pretty polished, just wondered if you kept using it or went for the high price boxes in the end ?

Hi @dragonsrage99,

Funny timing -- I just had someone tonight ask me to build one for him. I've also had someone from the UK desperately wanting one but it just didn't make economic sense to ship it that far. The chamber works great! I've been using it since I built it and have not had any problem with it, other than I wish it was a little larger. I may modify the design to make it slightly deeper but the same width; and use two filters side-by-die to cover the entire width. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

My only other wish would be for a Dylos particle counter so I know that it's achieving the desired effectiveness. However, all the speed test I've done after swapping heads in the chamber invariably come out better after than before the swap.

Building one yourself? If so, show and tell! :)
