thingiverse

This is a custom-made filament filter/lubricator designed for my IKEA Lack enclosure. To build this project, you will need: 1. Three printed components 2. Approximately 58mm of 1.75mm PTFE tubing 3. Any pen spring 4. A cotton ball or alternative filter material 5. Miscellaneous hardware Here's a step-by-step guide to assemble the filament filter/lubricator: 1. Print the three required pieces 2. Cut a piece of 1.75mm PTFE tubing approximately 58mm long 3. Drill a hole with a diameter of around 6-7mm through the Lack enclosure's bottom panel 4. Insert one end of the PTFE tubing into the printed filament filter passthrough component and feed it through the drilled hole from the bottom of the enclosure's roof 5. Secure the filament filter passthrough using a screw 6. Place the printed filament filter base on top of the Lack enclosure, aligning it with the remaining PTFE tubing 7. Screw down the filament filter base to secure it in place 8. Use a pen spring and a long M3 screw to attach the filament filter cover over the base 9. Insert a cotton ball or alternative filter material into the base
