Description
This is 3 parts that I made for my biltong box or quick dryer for meat.
You need one fan 100mm
some mosquito net
8mm rods of some sort
large plastic box
some screws and cable.
The 8mm plug is made to fit in the holes for the rods if you choose to remove some of them to fit larger pieces of meat.

Notes:
You shouldn't need support for any of the parts.
Outlets
After printing 1 or 2 of the outlets cut some fine net like used in windows to avoid getting mosquitos in to fit on the back of the outlets. Use hotglue to fasten it to the flat backside.
Make 50mm holes into the box where you want the outlets and fasten it with 4 screws through the box.
Inlet fan
Make a 100mm hole for the fan and fasten it in the side of the box. This printed part is to direct airflow to the lower part of the box to get some more even drying of the meat.
Final steps
Add some rods or hooks to hang the meat from in the lid or upper part of the box. Some like to add a lightbulb to help remove any moisture but for me it works just with the fan.
Google some recipes for jerky or biltong, heck I'm doing some Italian breasola in it right now.Hang the meat, put on the lid and then just wait! I found that Jerky took about 1½ day (36-48) hrs depending on the thickness. Doing larger parts around 300g use a timer so the fan is on and off in 60 minute intervals for example, that helps from making the outside of the meat dry up to fast.
