No, I unfortunately have low ceilings or else I would definitely have hung it.

I also have it blowing into the box and expelling through the filters. I could have gone the other way but since it's floor standing, I can use it as a huge vacuum basically. I can keep it beside where I'm sanding something and it sucks up a huge amount of the dust.

Pushing into the box also avoids the high velocity airflow that kicks up dust (though you could argue that kicking up dust makes it available for the filter to catch later).

I built it based on this guy's testing: https://youtu.be/FDroqRfWiWE
