Carbon filter for 3d printer
Safe 3D printing without nanoparticls & VOCs
Toxic emissions
Nanoparticles & VOCs
Studies have shown high nanoparticle emissions from 10 to 100nm and significant production of VOCs from the filaments fusion. You might breathe harmful air in the presence of 3D printer, and in a repetitive way. That is chronic pollution with a long-term effect on your health which you can prevent with safety features.

Melting plastic: a good idea without any protection?
3D printer enclosure is necessary to achieve beautiful prints without the warping effect. An enclosure can stabilize temperature and protect the printing zone from draughts. However, inside the enclosure, the harmful emission will be concentrated during the printing and requires air extraction or constant filtering.

Nevermore Is What You Get When Engineers Design Air Filters For 3D Printers
- by: Donald Papp
What happens when an air filter for 3D printers gets designed by engineers with a passion for function, a refusal to compromise, and a desire to do without bad smells or fumes? You get the Nevermore, a design for a recirculating active-carbon filtration system to deal with VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from 3D printing.
The Nevermore Micro (and larger Nevermore Max) were originally intended to complement the Voron 3D printer design, but are made such that they can be used with just about anything else. These filters use 3D-printable parts, and are designed to be easily filled (and refilled) using bulk-activated carbon instead of some kind of proprietary pre-packed filter like most commercial offerings. The Voron project is all about a printer without compromises, and the Nevermore comes from that same design ethos.
A Nevermore filter sits inside the build chamber, and works by recirculating air inside while passing it through the activated carbon. The idea is that by concentrating on dealing with the problem at the source inside a relatively small build chamber, one doesn’t need a lot of airflow. A small recirculating air filter can do the job efficiently, though for best results, the build chamber should be as sealed as possible.
One interesting caution is that it seems not all activated carbon is the same, and it is absolutely crucial to use only acid-free, steam-activated (not acid-washed) carbon in a recirculating filter like the Nevermore. There are horrifying photos of oxidized metal surfaces resulting from using acid-residue carbon, some of which took only minutes to occur. Thankfully, there are pointers to trusted sources for the known-good stuff.
It’s known that 3D printing results in chemical and particle emissions. These differ significantly depending on both material and type of printer, but it’s enough of an issue to warrant attention. One deals with particulates with something like a HEPA filter, but VOCs require a carbon filter. This is where the Nevermore comes in. Active carbon filters will wear out simply from exposure to the air, so if one is serious about cleaning VOCs when printing, it is definitely worth looking into bulk carbon with a design like the Nevermore.

Personal diaries
moved apart noticeably)), but the question of what kind of plastic to print and what would not be very expensive put me a little in a stupor.
The prices for plastics in stores are different for everyone and each frog praises its product, I decided to try printing with abs, with pla plastic I liked the printing results but it’s also more expensive ((, and the only minus of abs is its unpleasant smell, which is also harmful. Well, I think the problem is solvable and I built a thermal box. But the pancake is burnt, and where should the air with the smell go, after all, in 5-6 hours the box won’t hold air for printing (I decided to try to assemble a carbon filter using the example of car cabin filters, but as coal I tried coal to filter water in aqua arium, in granules, since it is not expensive and you can buy it. In short, I designed my own filter in free cad and if someone likes it and helps solve the same problem when printing abs, then I will be very happy about it)). I am new to 3D printing and how to lay out my filter in a file, I did not think of a better way to lay out a freecad filter file in the collection. I installed a cooler from a computer, when I bought it about 15 years ago for additional cooling of a computer and safely forgot about its existence until recently.
Fan size 80mm. by 80mm. and 12 volts. If you look at the filter assembly in the file, then on the right side the first is the overlay ring, which serves to hide irregularities when cutting a hole in the back wall of the box, then from the back side of the wall the filter base is attached in the form of a cylinder into which the entire I decided to make the fan assembly, the direction of the air outlet down, but it can be rotated around its axis wherever your heart desires. The filter itself is inserted directly into the assembly itself into which the filter granules are poured, and so that they do not spill out, I first laid a layer of viscose rag (it is used for dusting) and then poured coal and covered it all with another piece of rag, Then I installed the lid and the filter was ready. I consider the big advantage of my filter to be its ease of maintenance, it can be removed very quickly and easily and, if necessary, the contents of the filter itself can be changed. The filter itself is inserted into the fan assembly and all this is inserted into the base, which is fixed on the back wall of the box.
In my opinion, the power of the fan is quite enough, a sheet from a notebook, the air flow at the filter inlet holds confidently and nothing more is needed, I hope everyone will understand what I wrote here)). blogs/merlin742 Follow author
