My build is coming along nicely, but i switched horses in the middle of the stream. I was going to make the sides of the cylinder out of 1/8" polycarbonate and cut all the pieces accordingly. Then i switched to sheet metal instead. I can adjust everything but my slot in the 1/8" hardboard would have to be widened to about an inch and a quarter.
I have a full sheet of hardboard and it would not be too hard to build a new baffle piece, or mount the one i have cut and flush trim it to the sheet metal diameter. What do you guys say?
The only reason i ask is that i am using a small 580 CFM blower in a 16 inch diameter, 10 inch tall tophat with 6" intake and exhaust. With these parameters is the slot width critical?
Still a little confused with the outlet height too. How far from the baffle should outtake pipe be?
Thanks
Paul
