It is obvious that this needs to be easier for the novice to set up, as well as improving the exhaust air management.
V2.0 of the booth has  been completed.  This includes the following improvements:


The V2.0 of this is planned as follows:
* End wall sections that allow them to remain attached to the base unit, as well as collapse for storage.  This includes catches to hold the walls in the collapsed position.
* Build end wall slabs that allow them to remain attached to the base unit, as well as collapse for storage.  The proposal is to make 4 units that are 78" high by 32" wide. Included in this build are hinges that allow the end wall units to fold in like an accordion. These can remain attached and provide a booth that is 72 inches deep. 
* A retractable roof.  This is a prototype design using a weighted end to slide the roof down as it is collapsed, and slide up as it is deployed.  
* Provide a retractable roof.  There is a design using a roller or long weight to slide the roof back at it is deployed.  
* Electrical upgrade to add an electrical switch and outlet for lights.
* Added a 12" flex hose to route the air to the outside.  This includes a 3D printed HVAC type adaptor to attach to 12"x12" exhaust from the base unit fan.
* Rubber casters to improve the rolling on concrete.  Added castors to the front wall.

Proposed additional upgrades:
* Replace Base unit poly with a more resilient fabric dropcloth.  I have purchased a 9' by 15' drop for this purpose.  All that is needed is to sew up an edge so that it will be resilient.

* Alter the electrical to move the power switch to the inside of the booth, as well as an electrical outlet for lights.
* construct a floor sweep style air exhaust for porting the air from the booth to the outside.  Adapt this to a 48"x3" low profile sweep that the door rests on.  There would also be 2 48"x3" door plugs that would allow this to plug the door when deployed.  The door is 12 feet wide.  Concept drawing is coming
