I built this today.

Tools used:

Tee Wye 4"

1 flow reducer 4" (to block dryer air)
Duct tape
Carbon filter made with 2 pencil holders, carbon, and pantyhose.

Glue Gun
Drill

I drilled a hole where the snaplock and the tee wye meet. and installed a flow reducer or vent valve some people call them. (its a metal disc that goes inside the line and rotates to reduce or block flow)

You'll notice i used a tee wye instead of an actual T. This is because a T will create more pressure on the flow reducer which may allow hot hair from the dryer to travel down the snaplock and out of the carbon filter. A tee wye gives the air a more direct route up the vent towards the fans vaccum.

I took the two 4" to 3" plastic reducers and glued gunned the 3" sides together and duct taped it.

then i glued the lip of the "inner pencil holder" to the inside of the reducer. (4"side)

once all together it looks like this
