The Airplate S9 SWITCHEROO ⤴️⤵️

The S9's stock finger protector creates a gap between the fan and the mounting plate. After taking it apart and swapping the protectors to eliminate that gap, CADR was retested.

196 cfm ➡️ 222 cfm

If you've got one, swap them! @JimRosenthal4

Disassembly 🪛💥

Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the top. Next, peel the honeycomb protectors off (pic 1). They're stuck on with vibration reduction pads.

Flip the fan enclosure (pic 2), unscrew the bottom, and remove the standard protectors (pic 3).

Pic 1: Top of S9 removed and one honeycomb protector peeled off.
Pic 2: Fan enclosure flipped over
Pic 3: Bottom unscrewed and standard protectors removed.

A new pinned tweet -- all filter testing I've published to date.

First, the test chamber write-up.
And a quick look at test chamber automation.

Purpose of this build was to use all 5 fans in the P14 5-pack and to go as low-cost as possible with fans + power supply.

#MiniCR with Starkvind and Arctic P14 fans.

A quiet 37.1 dBA at full power with an estimated CADR of 243. This CADR puts it in competition with a MERV13 Lasko box fan build, the noise level puts it over the top.

Oh and I put ✨LEDs✨ in it this time.

#CorsiRosenthalBox ImageImageImageImage I experimented with fewer filters to see how the Arctic P14 fans did.

3 filters: cfm at 12V drops to 202.2. 21% drop from 4 filters.
2 filters: cfm at 12V drops to 146. 43% drop from 4 filters.
