My DIY dry cab

In the past drying has never been a problem I would just cut everything down and put it in the dry racks and dry in the room that I grew in. But I have decided to ramp things up a bit and have turned everything into a perpetual grow. The problem now is I do not have a spot to dry in. So after a month or so searching the net for a practical solution and a ton of trips to home depot and ikea, I came up with this. And it only cost around $120 I had the carbon filter already but you can put one together for fairly cheap at that size.

I got a sterlite 4 shelf cabinet, 6" duct booster, some super cheap 12x24x1 air conditioner filters, 4 to 6 reducer, power cord, some screws and some twine. Now I have enough space for my dry and its super stealth and quite. The pics only show half of the shelves up. There is enough resistance with the carbon filter and the trays where the dry is pretty slow, so far its almost a week and looks like it could go another 3-4 day minimum, I also have room for 8 trays.

so without further adieu I present drybot 2000

Nice idea looks good!
Are you going to change the filters trays out every 30 days as recommended?

I've always wanted to build something similar with mesh silkscreen trays to let the kief through. I actually have the trays, but haven't gotten around to building the box. My only concern, relative to this project, lies with the furnace filters. It seems like they'd allow the kief to stick to their surface.

Once they are in there, they dont move a whole lot, so they are not getting rubbed on the filter so if any kief falls off its not much. I was going to use some a different type screen, but needed to slap this together fairly quickly and didn't have much time for trial and error.
