      • Know How... 225: Cheap Odor Eater

        We get out done by Mark Olson's Steampunkier goggles, and we build a cheaper odor eater.

        Cheap Odor Eater: Parts

        Project Overview:

        Our "Odor Eater" project used ~$60 in parts, but we think we can do it cheaper... A LOT cheaper. This time we're investing less than $30 to make a renewable filter that fits right on top of an "Aquarium Masters" activated Carbon jar.

        Parts List:

      • Aquarium Masters - Laboratory Grade Activated Carbon (Price is for TWO bottles) ~$22
      • 120mm Fan (Cooler Master SickleFlow -- but ANY 120mm fan will do) ~$8
      • Pantyhose or Foam ~$5
      • 12v Power Source
      • 3D Printed 120mm-Aquarium Masters Adapter, Flow Director
      • 6-32 Bolts and Nuts
      • Ziplock Bag
      • Silicone Sealant (Optional)

        • Tools List:

      • Phillips Screwdriver
      • Pliers
      • Wire Snippers/Strippers
      • Soldering Kit
      • 3D Printer

        • STL Files

      • ^FlowDirector_v3.stl

        • Also Includes the raw files so you can make your own

        COE: Assembly

        Assembly:

      • Attach a 120mm fan to the frame using 6-32 bolts and nuts.
      • Make sure the direction of the fan sucks air THROUGH the frame.
      • If you're going to use tapered case screws, you'll have to enlarge the mounting holes on the frame. Either Dremel them out or modify the STL file.
      • Optionally, you can draw a bead of silicone sealant along the edges of the adapter to create an seal with the fan housing.
      • Attach your power source to the Black (ground) and Yellow (12v+) leads of the 120mm fan.
      • Empty 3/4 of the "Aquarium Masters" jar into a ziplock bag.
      • Drill holes along the top of the jar. (NOT in the threading area)
      • Insert foam pieces inside the jar, under the holes you've drilled.
      • Insert the flow director into the jar.
      • Pour the remainder of the AC into the flow director.
      • Cap the flow director with foam cut into the shape of adapter funnel
      • Close and Power on!
