Description
DIY fumes extractor:
- heavy stand (uses 100x100x25mm metal scrap bought from local ebay like site as ballast)
- articulated segmented arm (Marius design)
- connection to 75mm flexible hose (threaded connection)
- cheap duct fan with a remote
Printed from PETG, mostly default slicer settings (with exception of fuzzy surfaces and supports).
Internal friction surfaces of segmented arm got fuzzy skin added (with parameters 0.075/0.075 or 0.1/0.1 (both worked)). Otherwise segmented arm pieces were too loose. Print test pieces first!
(I was printing whole segmented parts as fuzzy surfaces, too (see one of photos) but that's not needed and makes print time longer - only one internal surface for each connection needs fuzzyness).
What's needed?
