Anyone who prints with resin is familiar with one of the most persistent issues. Resins emit vapors that smell and can potentially be harmful. This is a portable solution to do some air scrubbing.
This was designed to sit behind our modified Elegoo Mars Pro printers. We modified them by removing the standard (non replaceable) carbon filter that hides in the base of the unit. We attached a duct to vent air out through vents in the back of the base. We then place this unit against the vents and do some air filtration.
Is this an optimal solution? No. We had something better planned but this does the job. If things get slow in the shop we'll get back to designing the better solution.
I don't remember what specs we used to print this, but I'd bet on PLA with 2 perimeters and 20% infill. Print the cap topside down and support shouldn't be needed. (I think)
Bill of Materials (contains affiliate links)
1x Vapor Collector Body (3d printed)
1x Vapor Collector Cap (3d printed)
1x 60mm fan * (Amazon: 60x15mm 12V fan)
4x M3x20 screw ** (Amazon: M3 Screw Assortment)
You'll need to get power somewhere as well.
* We used a 15mm fan, likely because that's what we had in the shop. A wider fan will move more air but if you use one just be sure to adjust your screw length. We also used 12V because we have that available in abundance.
** When you buy hardware in bulk you get discounts. If you only need a few an assortment pack like that we indicated can be quite convenient and we do get them on occasion. If you're in a place that uses a sensible measurement system, locating metric hardware is easy. If you're in the 'States and you need bulk fasteners we use Bolt Depot (and are not affiliated with them).
