This versatile attachment ensures the FFF 3D printer filament escapes two persistent problems - clogging and friction. A compact sponge wipes away any stray dust particles, preventing them from accumulating in the extruder's path. Meanwhile, adding a few drops of ordinary mineral oil to the sponge provides crucial lubrication for the filament as it passes through, alleviating strain on the extruder motor. Lubrication proves especially valuable when long tubes transport the filament before it enters the extruder. INSTALLATION First, 3D-print the included STL file and insert a compact piece of sponge into the filament filter. Ensure that a hole is punctured through the sponge, allowing the filament to flow freely through and out the other end. Next, soak the sponge with several drops of mineral oil (utilized for sewing machines, door hinges, or bicycle chains). Finally, place the filament filter strategically between the spool and the extruder. If your printer employs a plastic tube that guides the filament towards the extruder (a common feature in Bowden solutions), be sure to position the filter prior to the tube's entry point.
