Beam3D Prism Cheap Filter Stack

thingiverse

I'm sharing my Beam3D Prism printer exhaust filter after a request from someone in the community. I chose to add a power plug to the rear of the printer so I could plug a PC fan into it, but you could use an external power supply instead. I 3D printed the fan adapter and a couple of spacer rings for the trap adapter as well, but the rest of the parts were either on hand or from the hardware store. The filters are used FoodCycler filters from our compost processor, which can be purchased new here: https://www.nofoodwaste.com/products/filters. I had to cut the fan grill out of the back of the printer and was able to do it with a pair of side cutters, but be careful if you try that because I've managed to snap cutters doing similar activities in the past. A dremel would be a better choice for this task. One thing to keep in mind is that while I didn't glue any parts in place, if you do glue them make sure your fan's location won't interfere with opening the door. I show it facing up like this, but I actually rotated it so the fan rested on the table because it makes the printer fairly back-heavy.
