Great video, looking into this at the moment! Loved the last annotation about "being better than a vacuum cleaner" was thinking using an old one I have.
Simple solution to fan problem. My booth uses two 12v marine bilge fans. Designed to remove gas fumes from boat engine compartments, sealed motors are certified (USCG, CE, etc) ignition free (no sparks). Cheap (< $25), move air (200+ CFM), fit inline with 4" hose connections, with built-in mount. Powered by 5-6 amp PS (CB/Ham radio), located well away with long power cord since not spark-free. In my case, 14-amp PS for two fans and hose y-connector merges two fans into one hose, vented outside.
I was able to get a paintbooth built myself before winter. My uncle built it on top of a pre-existing workbench in the shed out of wood. There is a shelf in it to store my airbrush when I am done. It's strength is also its greatest weakness. The suction comes from range hood, which has a light. I spray forward, but the section is up.
You've got a point there. I guess it isn't because well...AC powering indicates that the motor isn't brushless. This could result in sparks that' could lead to the ignition of the paint thinner...
I'll open the motor and look into it. perhaps I've to exchange it with an brushless one.
Haha wieso bin ich kein bisschen überrascht dieses Video zu sehen! LOL auf Dich ist halt Verlass. Ja Filter besser oder man findet Deine Wohnung easy ^^ Respect for the DIY booth, I use atm the balcony with spraycans, no worry bout fumes cause of fresh air.
Ach. Das war ein Frustkauf. Gestern war ein blöder Arbeitstag und Bahr war mehr oder weniger auf dem Heimweg. Schnell gekauft und dann am selben Abend noch zusammen gebaut.
My apartment will get a balcony, too (at least that is what my land-lord told me when I moved in).

Your simple solution may work just as well.

A creative and saving costs ...Good thinking

This is really creative!
I'd expect nothing less from you! :)
Though, would there be any kind of less deadly alternative to using the mains power line and ventilator combo?
crapmunky99 2 years ago
You could use a 12V ventilator (PC stuff or bigger) and use a simple 12V transformator to avoid handling with mains power.
But then you've got to do more thoughts on how to attach the aluminum tube to the ventilator.
Just search for "DIY Spray booth" on youtube and you'll see what I mean ^^

Thanks for the tip.
Seems I have a lot to learn before tackling something like this.
crapmunky99 2 years ago
I am goinf to follow your footsteps and make this!
pattyboy1001 2 years ago
come on. I'm sure you can make up something that works better.
Ah...well and please don't mess around with mains power on your own (ask parents/uncle about it)...

no. That'S obviously impossible (moisture is to high for spray-painting).
But I could spray while having a toilet session.
That's awesome!
