Not every project needs this much. What you see below is a complete, fully automated humidifier — auto-fill, humidistat control, UV, ducting, the works. Plenty of builds are far simpler. For a lot of projects a mist maker and a waterproof fan in a sealed container, with a hole for the fog to push out, is the whole build. Start with what your project actually needs and add the automation later if you want it.
