Overview

Bolt-on adapter lets you mount a stick-vac HEPA filter to your printer’s existing carbon/fan box screws. The aim is to cut airborne particles and fan noise while printing. The filter press-fits into the adapter and includes a pull tab for quick removal. (Photo 3 shows the filter after ~150-200 g of red ASA printed over 2-3 hours.)

Can’t find a matching filter?

If the two filter sizes below don’t fit what you have, leave the dimensions in the comments and I’ll generate a model to suit.

Available models

Standard S17 filter – outside Ø 98 mm, sealing Ø 92 mm

Smaller 79 mm filter – compatible with A200/A200 PRO, ORFELD B08/C10A/C10G, NEQUARE S12/S25/S26 (as listed on Amazon)

Note: I haven't printed the smaller adapter as I don't have those filters so if you print one and theres issues please let me know.

Parts required

1 × Filter, although it would be advisable to buy spares as they should be replaced every 2-3 months.

Installation

1. Unscrew the 4 screws securing the carbon/fan box to the side panel, to make things easier leave 1 screw in place otherwise the screws can be hard to get back in place as the box will move around.
2. Place adapter on the outside.
3. Reinstall screws.
4. Press fit the filter.

If theres interest I could also do a version that has a deeper tubular outlet to connect piping to use as an extraction vent.
