80mm computer fan Anycubic Photon Exhaust System

This was designed to work seamlessly with the 3M VOC system found on Thingiverse, specifically the model at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3681435. By eliminating the need for the 3M canister and venting exhaust gases outside, we create a more sustainable solution for Photon exhaust fumes. All parts print effortlessly on Anycubic photon. Due to slight variations in fan sizes, some filing of the inside of the fan box components may be necessary. I used Gorilla tape to ensure fans were securely sealed since exhaust ventilation occurs through a smaller tube. The adapter connecting the exhaust hose requires a tight fit, and some filing might be needed depending on the resin used. With grey resin, I found that twisting the adapter provided a secure fit and removed any micron-sized material necessary for a snug connection. Additional parts required include a length of 1 1/4" outer diameter vinyl hose; I utilized this product from Lowe's (https://www.lowes.com/pd/EASTMAN-1-1-4-in-x-25-ft-Reinforced-PVC-Reinforced-Braided-Vinyl-Tubing/1000180575). Hoses fit snugly at this size. Other notes: I am working on an updated version that incorporates 80mm fans with higher static pressure, which will necessitate elongating the body. Until then, I plan to simply gorilla tape around the two adapters as they should still function properly. To assemble the system, seat the fan halfway first, then feed wires through the hole on the inlet side of the exhaust housing before finishing the seating process and closing it up.
