For this chamber I've chosen a watertight tote with a neoprene gasket.
I've used a standard HVAC filter rated for pollen that I flattened then doubled up.
I chose a real aluminum foil ducting tape to do the sealing around the edges.
I chose a pot to permanently live inside this chamber, which I cut down a bit except on one side to hold the watering tube.
you can see the water tube coming from outside the chamber.
I put filters on both the intake and the exhaust, sealed up tight.
I chose a switch. Fans are wired in parallel, not in series if multiples are used. the amperage must exceed the draw...
example, 1x 12v 200ma fan could be run off a 12v ac adapter of 200ma or higher.
2x 12v 200ma fans would require a 12v ac adapter of 400ma or higher.
Here's some shots from a successful pollen harvest... the chamber was in the sidelight and shadows of the girls...
Not a huge chamber, and it does not get full light like a female would, but I get plenty enough pollen for my needs.
