Ikea FÖRNUFTIG Box - My first box

Hi guys! Bought 4 Ikea FÖRNUFTIG filters and discovered by mistake that if I arrange them in this configuration, inside it's enough space for 4 x 120mm fans.

To stick the filters together, I've used good old hot glue gun.

It took me some thinking of how to manage the PSU, as I didn't want to put it inside and waste so much space. Also, I wanted a way to easily change the filters, so I've used velcro between the layers.

I know that the PSU is such an overkill, but I haven't found in Europe an easier way to power the fans.

As I want to give it to my mother, I searched for a way to protect her fingers from the fans and the PSU. I found this cheap mosquito net that comes with velcro.

I'm waiting now for some parts to convert it from the PSU to a cheap 12V charger.

So this is the final list for this version:
1 x Mosquito net with velcro
3 x Birch wood shelf - 28cm x 28cm
3m Velcro
4 x Arctic P12 Pro fans
1 x MOLEX to 4 pin fan adapter
4 x FÖRNUFTIG filters
1 x PSU 500W
1 x PC power cable

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions. Working now on an improved v2 with a simpler power supply, fan speed control and Tuya smart functionalities.
