      There are definitely in between options... i got a complete HEPA laminar setup and coupled it with a 2x4 foot shelf to make a big work space... i was willing to spend a bit more, but under 1000 dollars for the shelving unit and the complete fan filter and hood setup. If you want to find a cheap HEPA filter go check out Staples and you could easily get a 9x9inch filter for about 30 bux that you could use to make your own clean air box. Question is just how big of a space you want to work in and how much you want to spend. I was lost in my early research but realized there are options for every price point

    • @superbarnie
      @superbarnie 3 роки тому +4

      @@MrChewymentos I wouldn't recommend using those HEPA air purifiers found in stores as a flowhood, generally their filters are not thick enough to create laminar air flow. IIRC, you need the filter element to be at least 6 inches deep for laminar air flow.
      I'd suggest going the DIY route if you are low on funds and a flowhood is really necessary ( it usually isn't). A 2x4 foot flowhood can be made for around $600
