Goal:
Create a compact, aesthetic air filtration unit for 3D printers to remove hazardous particles from materials like ABS, PC, Nylon, etc.
Requirements:
- Fits inside 3D printer enclosure.
- Achieves 9.45 air changes per hour (NIST standard).
- HEPA and carbon filter to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns.
- Modular, easy to disassemble design for filter and fan maintenance.
Design Highlights:
- Optimized intake positioning and utilized a three-stage filtration system (preliminary, HEPA, Carbon).
- High static pressure fan ensures sufficient airflow.
- Configurable for three or two filter setups, adaptable to different systems.
Outcome:
Successfully created a reliable and efficient air filtration unit that provides clean, particle-free air within the 3D printing enclosure, supporting safer operation and easy maintenance.
