Modular air filter

prusaprinters

<p>This is a two part air filter. It has an embedded mesh on the filter part and screw holes on the other one to attach it. The two parts are joined using a twist-and-lock system.</p> <p>Version 2 has smaller locking pins, additional hand-grips and a smaller nub to hold it in closed position.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>CR-10S</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <h3>Adapter</h3> <p>Print the Adapter as usual, nothing fancy about it.</p> <h3>Filter:</h3> <p>Add a M600 or similar command to the gcode for the filter to pause it. See the attached picture for details, I would advice pausing before printing the mesh attachment circles. The circles are meant to be a fallback fixture should the filament and the net not fuse.</p> <p>Reduce layer-height if attachment pins are not slicing correctly.</p> <p>It's tricky to mount the mesh while printing, prepare to make a few attempts at it. I eventually just held it there by hand until it was printed in and layed a ruler on the sides to prevent them from folding over.</p> <p>I used the following commands to pause the print and insert the mesh:</p> <p>; -----------------------</p> <p>G91 ; set relative positioning</p> <p>G1 Z60 E-10; move extruder up 60mm and retract filament slightly to avoid drips</p> <p>; don't home or it will crash into your fixtures on the way back</p> <p>M0 Click To Continue</p> <p>G1 Z-55 E6; move extruder and filament back slighty less</p> <p>G90 ; set absolute positioning</p> <p>; -------------------</p> <h3>Filter_infill:</h3> <p>It's an alternative to the embedded mesh for filter.stl. It contains a solid in the middle that can be customized to be printed using only infill, as seen in the screenshot of PrusaSlicer.</p> <p>Feel free to try embedding your mesh inside the infill layers if you want to keep a slimmer footprint. It actually worked better for me as the mesh seemed to fuse into the filament.</p> </p></p></p> Category: Outdoor & Garden
