I set it up to pull air through the filter and create positive pressure simply because it’s basically a tent with lots of seams and areas debris could enter if I tried to create a vacuum inside by having the fan on one end and the filter on the other. My paint was very clean, dust free when I sprayed, I’m going to run the fan slower when I spray today and turn it off when I’m not spraying, hopefully this makes a difference. Thanks for the suggestion!

I modeled it after this principle,
