Last year for Christmas gatherings at my dad’s house I put together wall-mounted filter cubes,
to get them up and out of the way. This time around this seemed like
too much hassle, so I put one together on top of the piano, one in a
bookcase, and used one commercial purifier:
It’s double-ended because I had an extra fan. You do need to remember
to turn on both fans. Probably would be slightly more effective if
I’d put a partition in the middle to make it actually be two
independent cubes. I used the 12x20 filters from my ceiling fan air purifier project.
The kitchen has a commercial purifier, which has a similar capacity to
the filter cubes while taking less space. If I wanted to run these
all the time I might buy several commercial purifiers, but since these
are just for occasional use that seems less worth it.
For the living room, Julia had
the clever idea of using a part of the built-in shelving that was
exactly the right size:
This is only two filters worth, but I still feel a lot of airflow from
the fans. It’s a good location for not being in the way, though we
did need to talk to the kids about leaving it alone since it would be
easily damaged if bumped.

I should make some shrouds for the fans.
