M Filter Cartridge - Use Blue Bonded Filter Pads from Your Local Pet Store - Cheaper Options Available The secret to a successful M filter cartridge lies in using blue bonded filter pads, which can be easily found at your local pet store. These pads have two distinct materials: white and blue sides that can be pulled apart with ease. Place the white side facing upwards on the back part of the cartridge, ensuring the tabs are securely positioned. Next, add some activated carbon to enhance filtration efficiency. To assemble the filter, carefully line up the holes in the top part with those on the bottom half. Gently tap the two parts together using a hammer, and then cut away any excess filter fabric. Be cautious not to damage the delicate tabs, as they are fragile. Note that this is version 2 of the design, which boasts several improvements over its predecessor. These enhancements include reduced material usage, decreased print time (resulting in a thinner finish), an added cross-brace on the top side for added stability, and improved tab and hole designs. Print Settings Used: Printer: Tevo Tarantula Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 100% Assembly Tips: Back side rotate tabs upwards. Regarding Filament Choices It has been suggested that ABS may be a better option for aquarium applications due to its chemical properties. However, I have successfully used inexpensive orange filament and white PLA without any issues over the past four months.
