Aluminum Frame PC Fan Corsi-Rosenthal Build (2023) (itsairborne.com)
Nukit 2 hours ago [-]
If you want to DIY these there's a FOSS (GPLv3) parametric builder web app that will output files for 3D printing, lasercutting, or handcut foamcore and calculate the performance of different configurations for you:

There's no real performance difference between DIY and metal PC fan filter boxes, just durability.

A YouTuber, Joel Creates, recently developed a filter that can be assembled from furnace filters, 3D printed parts, O-rings and PC fans: https://youtu.be/GpA7-EJpKWU

Files can be purchased by backing the Kickstarter but they won't be sent until November: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joelcreates/oddcube-air...

I think this could be substantially cheaper than a build based on a PC case.

> The total cost of these filter boxes are somewhere around the $300-$350 CAD range

About the same as a Coway

But repairable, cheaper to operate (power and consumables), and quieter for the CADR than Coway.

But furnace filters are a lot cheapee than most replacement air purifier filters, and that's before you buy your furnace filters at Costco or surplus.
