Air filter testing (3d printed)

thingiverse

Experimenting with a 3D printed air filter is an exciting project that requires attention to detail and the right settings. To print this design successfully, use a 0.35 extrusion width and a 0.300 layer height. Maintaining a level bed is crucial to ensure smooth printing. To make removal from the print bed easier, use wax-free dental floss. This simple trick will save you time and effort in the long run. The slicing process was done using the Slic3r slicer, which offers advanced features for optimizing prints. Ensure that your slicer is not removing thin walls by activating the "detect thin walls" feature. Continuing to experiment with this design has led to new developments. On 9-1-15, a version of the air filter was created that can be mounted directly to a 120mm fan. The results are promising, but there's still room for improvement and refinement.
