How do you figure out the optimal filter thickness? If you hypothetically had a very weak fan then it wouldn’t push much air through even furnace filters. If you had a magic constant air flow source then you would want the thickest filter possible.
I guess I am just wondering if you could use something better-looking and cheaper, like semi-transparent paper with lights behind it or a washable sheet/tapestry.

There’s probably a way to do this with physics, but I do a lot with trial and error ;)
How do you measure results?
Put particles in the air and measure how quickly they’re depleted. ex: Evaluating a Corsi-Rosenthal Filter Cube
