Recent project; DIY Spray Booth

[PlstcJunky]

I built this spray-booth out of 3/8" acrylic sheets and it works great. So I figured I would post some photos to give others ideas for a build. The lighting system, (Good Earth Lighting), is a plug-in LED set off the shelf at Lowes. It has 5 temperature settings and a dimmer. And the exhaust parts are also from Lowes. The blower motor with speed-control is from Amazon, very happy with that, 4" x 12" Vent filters from Lowes are used for the exhaust intake. Sorry, but I did not keep track of the cost. I had the acrylics, so only bought the other supplies.
That is a 1/144 scale U-Boat in there for a size-reference. The booth can be made to any size specs desired. Happy builds to all.

Sorry, but I didn't keep track of the monies spent.

They are 4" x 12" vent filters from Lowes. The type sometimes used for heating registers. I added a photo of them, above.

I love how you have the legit inline “grow” fan on there . I bet that handles more then enough airflow for this purpose. Its power is dimmable isnt it IIRC?

I just looked at the pics and knew that was a amazon dimmable grow fan. I had one LoL

@Pantherman this is the fan I was thinking of using too, its dimmable but very powerful even on the lower settings

Yes, it is "dimmable". I mostly use it around half-throttle. I noticed that if the speed is too high, I think it creates static-electricity and pulls in dust to the model surfaces. IIRC?...not sure? My entire shop is packed into a POD container. I'm in the process of moving to another State.
