Husher Box

The hushbox needed a makeover. Besides the duct tape holding on the front piece of glass, it wasnt' getting enough air. I had designed the box to be semi-passive. Vent holes in the bottom combined with a smokestack on top meant that heat should go up. It did, but not enough, and when there's a hot attic, even less. So I added a vent fan. That worked okay, but it would still let the projector overheat. I then just pulled the side off the box. That was best, but still occasionally it would over heat- I think becaues the fan would sometimes cut off.

So, a redesign of the box was in order. First of all, instead of holes being in the bottom, I wanted them in the back. I put a big filter in the back and have vent holes there, as well as a bunch of small holes in the bottom of the box. These meet up with routed tracks which also go to the filter at the back of the box. Ideally, when there's a vacuum up top, it'll bring cold filtered air to both the back and underneath the box. The only wrench is that one of the kids stepped on the taken-off side panel, so I need to refabricate it. Coming soon. In the meantime, the new box looks great.
