    Hi C-Bag,

    Been thinking about the black goo since I posted the sight glass...have to think about it some more but you are probably right. Better to pull the hose and have a look...then deal with the Razor Pig! It may be a moisture/temp thing inside the bucket that makes it so messy.

    Thein type are pretty cool and got interested in them 3-4 years ago when my buddy G (ghostses) on YT built a big one on a 30 gallon waste can...go back 4 years in his video list to see them. Last time I linked a video it posted the video in the thread. He has the big HFT collection system (coupon of course) and got sick and tired of cleaning the bag. Also Matthias Wandel made one for his shop. The principles are similar to a cone but horizontal and from my research is better at taking the small stuff also. And both types are scalable for this small cabinet.

    I'll finger it out I think...It's all about keeping the Yang up to the fan with diameters and lengths to get straight air, I believe...and finding the right filter material. May have to go to a 100mm or 120mm fan though. Also came up with a venturi for the inlet. If I get it to work I'll definitely post it.

    Thanks, ~PJ
