Production steps:

Step 1: Required materials:

Empty baby wipes box

Aluminum foil (approximately 7.5 by 5 inches, 19 by 12.7 cm)

20 ounces (about 560 ml) bottled water bottle

80mm computer cooling fan, including mounting screws

Single pole double throw switch (actually any switch is fine)

9V AC/DC power converter

Power adapter

Humidification filter

A short piece of wire (about 6 inches, a little more than 15 cm long)

Step 2: Tools needed:

Electric grinder with glass fiber reinforced cutting wheel

Wireless handheld drill

1/4 inch drill bit

5/32 inch drill bit

Files for Jewelry

Iron scissors

Hot melt glue gun

Electric screwdriver

Electric soldering iron

Scissors

Step 3: Assembly steps: spread out the container, trim the upper cover, and install the bottle.

Step 4: Connect the electronic parts, the final product

Step 5: We will use a used baby wet tissue box as a container. The upper part of the box is rounded, making it difficult to put things on it. Rather than completely removing the upper structure, we might as well modify it so that it can fix other things and facilitate the handling of the internal space, including cleaning and filter replacement.

Step 6: Use the cutting wheel of the electric grinder to make a 6.25 by 4.5 inch (about 15.9 cm by 11. cm) space on the top of the box, leave about 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) on the side not to cut, so that Can reserve the clamshell roller space of the box cover.

Step 7: Next, we need to drill two 1/4 inch small holes in the front of the box cover, which are in the area where the switch button of the box cover is located. After modification, it will be used to install the upper plate structure and be able to fix it.

Step 8:

On the left side of the box, we need to make a ventilation structure to extract air through a filter element that absorbs water vapor. This design is aimed at installing the bottle on the left side of the box.

First you need to measure up to about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) from the bottom, and then you start to drill a 1/4 inch hole in the side. The more holes, the better the airflow after passing through the filter element. I made 4X7 holes.

Don't forget to use a file or sandpaper to clean the edges of cutting and drilling.

Step 9:

Now we expand the top and decide where to proceed next.

Step 10:

When looking at the box from the front, we hope that the bottle and the vent are on the same side, and the water supply bottle for the humidifier should be beside the exhaust fan. So we made two holes of 2.75 inches (approximately 7 cm) in diameter on the cover 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) from the edge, with a distance of 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) between the two holes.

Step 11:

We will also install a power switch. Please note that all marking and cutting will be done on the reverse side of the cover, so that the electric grinder will not damage the appearance during operation. Pay attention to which side is used for bottling. This side needs to be more careful when cutting to ensure that the bottles are well connected.

Step 12:

We use the cutting wheel of an electric grinder to make a hole, which can not go out of bounds when cutting, and finally use a file to correct the cut. Of course, the polishing wheel of the electric grinder can also be used to trim the incision. It is best to use a file to process the mouth of the bottle, because the bottle fits well.

Step 13:

It may be necessary to file off the mark and then install the bottle for testing to see if you need to file off a little more material. When cutting the switch hole, we use a 1/4 inch drill to make a hole in the middle, and then use a file to complete the entire area. The bottling mouth should be processed to be smoother to avoid damage to the bottle.

Step 14:

You can widen the hole, and then add a ring of gasket on the side to better protect the bottle and have a better appearance...
