I'm getting ready to add a Thien baffle to my HFDC. I'm planning on just exhausting the air outside the building and let the wind blow away the dust. There are some advantages to living on a farm.
My plan is to start with the ring that originally holds the filter and plastic bag. I'm going to sandwich this ring between two pieces of plywood. The bottom will be the Thien baffle and the top will have a center hole to which the suction hose of the blower will be attached. This assembly will then set on a box or trash can to collect the chips or whatever.
Does anyone know if the blower can be run with the motor shaft vertical? This would simplify the build quite a bit as I could just mount the blower on the top plywood panel with the short inlet pipe inserted into the top piece of plywood.
