- 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 5 This view is from inside the enclosure looking at the filter attached to the outside. Insert the long 40mm M4 cap head screws from inside the enclosure into the holes in the filter on the outside of the enclosure. Insert the screws only part way into the filter to make sure the screw ends have caught into the nuts before starting to tighten.
- Page 6 When inserting the hex nuts be sure to center the nuts in the middle of the holes so that they will align with the screws. You can use a needle nose pliers or even a pen tip to adjust the location.
- Page 7 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. Copyright 2022 3D Upfitters LLC...

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 completely caught by even the best HEPA filter.
- Page 9 DIY/Miscellaneous Vent Adapters 3DUPfitters has a wide variety of vents designed to meet your custom venting needs. They designed to work with standard 3” or 4” clothes dryer hose available in any hardware store. Adjust the hose clamp to be right next to the ridge for the best fit. The adapters are intended to be flexible so you can design a configuration that’s best for your situation.
- Page 10 The latest addition to the vent lineup is the 120mm fan/vent combo. In this setup the fan is positioned at the window side of the hose. To complete venting to the outside with parts that aren’t included in the kits you can find flexible 4"...
- Page 11 must be purchased separately. We don't bother to stock them since they're readily available at local hardware stores. The fan can either be plugged into a USB power supply (not included) or the wires stripped and connected directly into some models of 3D printer. Copyright 2022 3D Upfitters LLC...
- Page 12 Mind the Flap Note that the 60mm and 80mm fans are not powerful enough to blow open most flaps and ducts. The window venting kid mentioned in the previous paragraph either needs to have the flap taped up or removed.
