@Texan_Reverend@kind.social I feel like I've seen this usually with the fan blowing into the box instead of out, but I'm guessing out is safer?

@KayOhtie@blimps.xyz Pulling air in through the filters and out through the fan is the proper orientation. Otherwise, it pulls dust & debris into the fan before the filters which is bad for its motor. This also creates pressure within the filter box which stresses them and the tape instead of pulling it all tighter. With the fan blowing directly at strong resistance, that backpressure causes more leakage back up through the fan housing. Finally, it doesn't mix the room air as well as blowing upward does.
