Serious Carbon Air Filtration for 3D Printing - especially for removing the smell from uv resin printers

thingiverse

I made an activated carbon filtration system that removes all the stink from my Photon. I used a 5-gallon bucket trick to draw the airflow through the filter from outside in, the way these filters are designed to work, vs all the carbon filter builds I've seen push the airflow through the filter from inside out, which makes it more difficult/impossible to use the pre-filter. In addition, I found a fan with variable speed control that only draws as much air as is needed to remove the smell thereby increasing filter lifespan and results in silent operation. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SY8JiDXpMxY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OTeL7KOdJlI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Parts List - Phresh Carbon Filter 701003 Inline Filter, 4 in x 12 in | 200 CFM - https://amzn.to/2ur441P - TerraBloom 4" Inline Duct Fan with Fully Adjustable Speed Control - https://amzn.to/2WcJtua - 5 Gallon Bucket (2 needed) - https://amzn.to/2OlpNBE - 4" Duct Hose - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2877754 - 3D printed Anycubic Photon Vent to 4" Duct Adapter (This same part can be used for the duct to bucket lid connection) - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2877754 - 3D printed carbon filter to fan coupler (ninjaflex or other flexible filament is preferred): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4568637 - 3D printed bucket clips: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4568637 Created by http://www.engineerable.com for making parts for prototypes, engineering and knife making at http:www.krvrknives.com The products shown here were purchased by me with the intent to use.
