Re:where to get steel mesh for HMT project (air filter)

go buy an APCrap air filter for like 18 dollars at autozone. or take 2 screens and put a coffee filter inbewteen them. is it realy that hard to fabricate a filter master fabricater. only you know what you want so you should probebly go ask yourself how to make it.

you cant really expect to make a filter that will clamp onto the comp housing out of a screen and paper, there wont be enough surface area imo. Thats why real filters have so many folds.

My bad I guess I should have read the post a little closer. I really just wanted to post that link to my food strainer thread anyways though.

I think we might just go with a basic screen design for the mean time. For some reason I thought there was something more to go with.. guess I was wrong.

Thanks to all for the replies, I'll let Antoine know tomorrow what ya'll came up with

I may be way off base, so I apologize, but...

Try a pet store...the screen that is used for aquarium/reptile living habitats seems to be what i think your looking for. The stuff used for the top, to keep the critters in.

Very, very fine, without restricting airflow too much i would think.

Again, hopefully im not too far off.

Just go buy a filter off of eBay for like 5 bucks since they also have those blitz knockoffs also.
