Something like this might make more sense for our upcoming Polaris, it uses 2" filters but if we use 1" 3M Filtrete with a mesh pellet screen like you are making that would be pretty amazing.

That looks really cool, I'll definitely check it out!

I'll have to see if any quiet fans have been rated with enough static pressure for HDPE filters.

Thanks for the suggestions. The interesting thing is that testing by Rob Wissman shows you can get away with having filters very close to a wall before you see a significant drop in performance. We don't use USB power, a 12v / 2amp supply is included.

I'm exploring the use of mesh bags of carbon pellets suspended inside an air purifier as a possibly more effective way of dealing with VOCs.

It uses four Arctic P14 fans and two Ikea Starkvind filters. With an integrated handle, rubber feet and a wide footprint to prevent tipping.
Ideal for smaller spaces or for hospital stays. I'll have it up on our website soon.

Oh yes, we already have our MINI-SC which uses 4 x P8 Max fans and has PWM speed control. I'm working on something called the "Guardian" which I'm hoping will be the cheapest machine we will make, 4 x 140mm fans and 2 x Ikea Starkvind.
This is an early version with 120mm fans:
