My unexpensive thermobox

See video

This is great! Thanks for the video. So you have a glass in the front which slides upwards?
I may follow your example and build one for my mendel90 as well.

Hi

How much did it cost ? I mean this heater device (what is it actually ?) and the plexiglas window ? Also what measurements has the box ?

Thanks

Manuel

It really costs nothing for me. It is old soviet era air heater ( about 2kW I think). I was able to hit 65C with it in such configuration.

Plexiglass pieces are from trash bin. I think they are remains from broken street lightbox or something.

It is not actually a box, but separately front part and back part - see video. I attached them to my standart mendel90(dibond) So they have the same dimensions plus several milimeters.

I need to say - by design Mendel90 is not very suited for hot air transferring inside. Or you need to make several inserts for hot air. I think back air temp is slightly less than front where hot air inserts.
