    I worked for a place that dealt with plastic for 13 years, and I wanted to offer a little trick: when using a hole saw drill bit, after you've made the pilot hole in the drill bit on the center of the hole saw, switch your drill to reverse. You'll have to work your drill at different angles to prevent binding, but it will give you a better chance of making a clean hole without cracking. It will melt some plastic, so you'll need to clean that up; a deburring tool works great for that.

      @@valroniclehre193 thanks Vorstel 😀 just to note; this device works well but I think better for a smaller grow area, maybe 1-1.5m3 and depending on air flow. It was on alot! Just to try and maintain that level of humidity in my tent. I bought a bigger mister with 12 heads, but not got round to making a new version yet, it will be the same thing just more power. Something that can come on for a minute and boom the humidity right to 100%. Also, use distilled water, or reverse osmosis, as tap water you will get a residue build up, and it will shorten the life of the mister. Would love to see it when you've finished!

      Oh you might find this useful also, so you can hook the device up to a humidity controller: ua-cam.com/video/FTGa0CsjxX0/v-deo.html

    I picked this up for work. My last one was smaller ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxtD9aJ2m6GU-X1IChQxjn9l31K1A7Kpwj and cuter but the motor burned out within a few months. This one's footprint is a tad bigger but it still doesn't eat up a lot of desk space. Its size and shape blends into the background nicely. This has a good size water container so I don't need to refill more than once a week. I use filtered (not distilled) water because cleaning up after our hard water is tough at work. I like that this has several settings. It's also very quiet. (I have a silence naxi in the next cubicle.) It also hasn't left that terrible while powder, so far, that some humidifiers leave. Been using this for a month or so now and am very happy with my purchase.

      looks like a very nice humidifier! ill check that one out. Ive bought a huge misting module with 12 heads, the amount of mist it kicks out is crazy, I haven't had time to work out how to wire it up yet since we moved house but will have to make some time soon. The small humidifier I made in the video is only really good for keeping a small space humid like a cubit square meter or less, otherwise its working too hard and burns out. The big 12 head I have can fog out a room in a matter of seconds, so its working time will be a lot less in-between humidy levels been activated.

      a mushroom grow room sounds fantastic! if its going to be a big growing space, i would suggest more misting nodules or buy one that has 6 or more modules on it. this w one in the video would be ideal for a meter square volume growing box max.

    how long does this tool last?

    • @GreenthumbsGarden
      @GreenthumbsGarden  Рік тому

      depends, mine did not last long, about a month as it burnt out :/ it was on 24/7 because it was too small a device for the amount of space it was trying to keep humid, so it was never reaching the desired level I set in the humidity switch. I'm sure it would have lasted a lot longer if it was keeping a smaller space humid, like a 200l aquarium for example. Since then i Bought a much larger mister with 12 heads, its a beast, but I haven't put it together yet since the move.

    Why do you think this stops running after a few seconds? At the end of the video it stops running. I mean the main ultrasonic humidifier itself.
