416074 2005-12-27 20:11:00 Looking for a dust filter for a 9cm fan. Anyone see any of these in NZ? I can only find 12cm and 8cm ones. I thought 9cm would be more common than 8cm :annoyed: mejobloggs (264)
416075 2005-12-27 20:15:00 make one ??

if you do find one i hope you can access the filter easly as it will need cleaning often. i was running a 12cm x 30cm filter, it was totally choked with dust withen a few weeks.

416076 2005-12-27 20:36:00 I have a Tsunami case. There is a washable fan at the front, so I assume that is easy to remove/wash, but the side fan has no dust filter. What type of material would I make one from? Does it go in front of the fan, or behind? mejobloggs (264)

go to your local hardware store and buy a large/cheap home AC/heating filter

416079 2005-12-28 02:32:00 For a while I used squares cut out of rangehood charcoal/carbon filter sheets. It was the leftover from lining our rangehood filter, and hence was going to be thrown out anyway. somebody (208)
416080 2005-12-31 21:36:00 This may be a surprise but coffee filters actually do a good job filtering dust. You have to change them regularly... usually every 4 to 5 weeks depending on how dusty it gets, and the other plus side is that they are dirt cheap (excuse the pun)
