IKEA Lack enclosure Air Filter intake

cults3d

The next part of my cooling system for my Lack enclosure has been designed to work seamlessly with my cooling duct, although I may create a modified transit duct to use it as a standalone unit. Apologies for the poor finish in the photos because I've just installed a new build-tak surface on the printer bed and someone thought it would be a great idea to print a large logo on it along with some warnings using ink that gets all over your prints. I also experienced a bit of "Y" axis shift about halfway through the print due to a collision between my bed and cat. This filter is designed to be underslung mounted beneath the printer deck (i.e. The Ikea Lack cardboard table top). It is held in place by two air ducts that screw into the table and attach to an air duct which is attached to the printer. A filter support screen holds a foam filter in place (Filter foam https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BO60PTO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). The filter slides into slots on the housing and the lid snaps over the protruding bit of the filter support grid. No additional fasteners are required. The housing is substantial to minimize airflow restriction as much as possible. The 120mm square filter area should impede the 80mm fan flow to a minimum. Air flows through the foam filter into the enclosure via the fan on the control board cooling duct and cover, which cools the control board of the printer while providing positive pressure to prevent dust from entering. There are two versions of the housing and lid available. The idea is to provide an option for drawing fresh air from either the side or underneath the housing. This allows the shelf beneath the printer to be enclosed or left open and whether ventilation is required using the printer cooling fan.
