Filament dust filter

  • Print-in-place hinges and a reusable snap-fit lock.

  • 1.2mm walls.

Weight [Sunlu Matte Gray PLA]

Instructions:

  • Fill each of the container's halves with tightly packed filtering media; cotton, a sponge, fabric, or any material which may dry-wipe the surface of the filament as it is driven through the box.

  • Wrap it around the filament right where the spool starts. It'll eventually jam where it belongs. 

  • Replace or clean the filler after each print for optimal performance.

    • Sponge media often lasts a bit longer before saturating,

    • Cotton allows to observe/trace the amount of dust buildup thanks to the contrast.

Printing notes:

  • Printed and tested on PLA @ 0.2mm and 0.12mm layer heights. Both work.

  • Default hinge clearance is set at 0.15mm, provided it simply works for my printer (Elegoo CC).

  • Added a 0.2 and 0.3mm clearance versions. Just because.
    (As a former Ender 2 V3 user, its what I would've wished for).

  • The model should be equally compatible with PETG, ABS, ASA and related common printing materials, although tolerances might vary. Tailor to individual printer needs.

  • Printer parameters included in 3mf file. Compatible with Bamboo X1 Series, from personal experience.
