- Page 3 Carbon Air Filter Locate Mounting Point If you’ve purchased an enclosure kit from 3DUpfitters the mounting point will be on the back panel when viewed from the back, as shown below. If you’re already got an enclosure or are creating one for yourself, you’ll need to cut a hole for air flow, and four holes to mount the filter and fan.
- Page 4 Find Air Flow Direction The fan is powered by a 5V USB power supply (not included). Plug in the fan and notice in which direction the air flows. You’ll want to connect the fan to the filter so that the air is pulled out of the enclosure and through the filter.
- Page 5 Smaller enclosures such as the Prusa have 60mm holes, and thus need an adapter. You won’t need the 60mm fan, but instead will use an adapter to connect the stronger 80mm fan to push air through the filter. To prepare the 80mm to 60mm adapter insert an M4 square nut in each corner.
- Page 6 The adapter is then connected to the fan/filter combination using 50mm M4 screws. Insert all 4 screws lightly before attempting to tighten. The holes on the 60mm side will now align with the 60mm holes on your Prusa, Ender 3, or other small enclosure, and the filter can be attached with 12mm M4 screws.
- Page 7 Vent Adapters Many people find the smell of plastic from a 3D printer to be particularly noxious, but there hasn't been that much research on the long or short term health effects of exposure to 3D printer fumes. Because the differing nature of the particles and compounds put into the air by different filaments, there's no standard way of filtering everything, especially since the smallest particles can't be caught by even the best HEPA filter.
- Page 8 The Prusa/Ender setup is a bit more complicated since window inserts are all 4", while the hose we recommend is 3". This setup adds an 3"->4" hose adapter, and the 3" hose is small and doesn't overwhelm the small enclosure. Note that with this setup you need 2 3" clamps and 1 4"...
