Next, I spent a bunch of time thinking about what I could do for the external vents that pull cool air in and let warm air out.
I was thinking that I could make something out of metal or wood that would slide in (like a custom vent). I also thought about fitting in some more heavy duty filters so it would act like an air purifier in some way.
However, I put all the complexity aside. Luckily I recalled that my friend who built a PC used some nice black magnetic filters. So I bought some of these black mesh filters and some magnetic strips to use on my unit.
1) I cut some of the felt off near the vent holes to make space for some magnetic strips.
2) After some of the felt was removed, I used a knife to score the wood behind it (better adhesion when gluing).
3) Cut the magnetic strips to size and glued them onto the sides of the vent.
4) Cut the mesh filters to the correct size and applied a magnetic strip to each side.
4) These filters easily just pop on and off and they look great especially with the orange light shining through. 🔆
