Boot/glove dryer update

You getting any water dripping into the PVC and getting to the fan? or are there some holes on the bottom of the elbows to allow drainage while air flows up? Looks nice, make a little build list (how much footage of PVC, etc) for us if you haven't yet.

 

Nice job Z. I think I'll grab some PVC parts next time I'm at the hardware store.

One mod I'm thinking of making is that instead of using the fan, I have a floor vent in my bathroom and I could maybe drill a hole in the 4-way and insert a funnel, and place the unit over the floor vent with funnel directing air into the system (I just need to make sure that the arms don't extend to far, as the floor vent has a close proximity to the wall). If this doesn't work sufficiently, I can always retrofit the small fan.

Thanks again for posting!

 

The commercial versions have a heating element as well you can switch on and off and they use a timer so you don't need to remember to turn off.

Seems like pretty simple mods.

Between one of these and a Hang Air for the wetsuit itself, you are good to go even with thick Xcel stuff that never wants to dry.

 

Just put your stuff on wet, you ***s.

 

Dude you should market that.. Seriously before someone else...


It's kinda like the peet boots drier without the heat- which is good cause I think the heat over time breaks down the neoprene...

 

Also- I just thought it would be a good idea to make the base of this the size of a 5 gallon bucket so you could set it on top of the bucket to collect water...

Dude thanks- great idea I'm goning to make one!

 

Same idea. Two CPU fans, box base. Works like a charm.

 

cool but if you are boxing up there air, doesn't it need a way to escape so moisture doesn't build up and keep the inside of it too humid?

 

love this! ive been shoving empty toilet rolls into boots and gloves and put them up right on the floor grill!
