Description
A Carbon-only replacement filter for the Prusa Advanced Filtration system.
This is V1, I plan to make some improvements to add some internal support for the carbon and make some versions that use less carbon. I may also incorporate a HEPA filter, if I can find one that fits well.
Four M3 brass heat set inserts + four M3 screws are used to install the lid. I printed this in PETG and so far it's holding up fine with 58C chamber temps but ABS or another filament that does well at these temps would be a good move.
I plan to complete some VOC testing to compare it's performance to the standard Prusa filter. My simple smell testing shows very good performance, smells from PLA and ABS are non-existent, even after 120 hours of printing. The standard blower fan is able to pull air through the carbon, just like the original filter.
You can change the infill type/density of the mesh, if you have different shape carbon. I am using Nevermore Boost.
