May 3, 2012 - now i won't have to solder outside anymore

May 3, 2012 - don't apply solder like this! it causes cold solder joints because the rosin in the solder doesn't clean the surface. it may work now, but it's very easy for it to break off. use the iron to heat up the surface and apply the solder directly to it.

May 9, 2012 - Don't use 9v batteries... they're horrible, low energy and expensive. Just use a regular 12v wall wart or some universal dc adapter on which you can cut the jack off. Even a 7.5v-9v will do, the fan will spin fast enough.Don't use a linear regulator to get 12v out of 18v, the difference gets converted to HEAT, so you're dissipating about 1-2 watts into the metal case... pointless waste of energy and you heat up everything.

May 11, 2012 - the150 dislikes are from people who tryed to smoke thinking it would suck the smoke but they got caught with both

Auqamoose Says:

May 14, 2012 - Just got done building the actual circuit, now I need to figure out how to cut holes, any suggestions? I do not have the tool shown in the video so I need some alternative way, thanks in advance

May 15, 2012 - bro,i use some switch and its fine before I solder the battery connector to its..but after I solder it..suddenly,the switch can't flip and its stuck..what happen?

May 19, 2012 - lol if you take out the filter its a mini fan

munchy808 Says:

May 20, 2012 - how ironic, you need to solder for to make a filter for soldering...

CorneliusSneedley Says:

May 21, 2012 - You are, of course, technically correct, but then you would have to plug in your Altoids tin to use it. :)

CorneliusSneedley Says:

May 21, 2012 - It just struck me how much it would suck if Altoids suddenly stopped coming in tins. There are projects all over the internet that use them.

CorneliusSneedley Says:

May 21, 2012 - "And now it's time to see if everything fits in our tin...oops, no, doesn't fit, sorry, folks." :P

RetroCaptain Says:

May 21, 2012 - You hold the hot iron on it too long, & the plastic case melted inside!Components like transistors etc are destroyed the same way.Just meant for a "touch" long enough to melt a wee bit of solder.

RetroCaptain Says:

May 21, 2012 - Ginsu knife!Start by poking a hole, then cut.Other way id those shorty hacksaws.Other way...no screen needed at all!! Use a drill, drill many small holes!Or if no drill, use a nail, & poke many holes! Sand the metal after.

raxaxaganaz Says:

May 22, 2012 - yeah,I realize it now...but,thanks for the advices..

Karla Verdugo Says:

May 24, 2012 - i love inventions that use ALTOIDS tin casings :D

MegaManBn Says:

May 26, 2012 - thank you so much kipkay. i got grade A with my design project.

keoni29 Says:

May 26, 2012 - @munchy808 What if you die because of those fumes :o

fir3share78 Says:

May 27, 2012 - Not to mention a drill as well. And they call this a weekend project... It would take days to find all these supplies unless you know what you're doing.
