Diy air filter for 3d printer


Building an Air Filtration System for a 3D Printer

How I used a microcontroller, a fan, and a bunch of sensors to create a smart filtration system.

Posted on January 6, 2021 by Mike Buss

I was thinking of projects to work on, and I thought, gee, it would be nice if our 3D printer didn’t kill us.

I had researched the potential health side effects of owning a 3D printer when I bought it - it turns out they can malfunction and catch fire or release harmful chemicals into the air - but I made excuses. I’m only printing in Polyactic Acid (PLA), one of the least harmful filaments - it’s probably fine. Sure, maybe it releases some tiny plastic into the air, but it’s a big room, and sometimes I keep the windows open. Our smoke detectors are brand new and well tested. We’re probably fine.

Now that we welcomed Theodore, our now 3-month-old, into the world, I wanted to be on the safe side. So, I set out to build an air filtration system and some other safety features.


The Start of an Idea

As with most of my hobby projects, it started out simple. I thought of strapping a fan to a HEPA filter and maybe adding a carbon filter for extra protection. Then I thought: wouldn’t it be cool if it turned on and off automatically when a print started? Surely that wouldn’t be too difficult to build.

And wouldn’t it be even better if the system could tell when the volatile organic compounds (VOC) levels were high and adjust the fan speed accordingly? Since the goal is to make this box less likely to kill everyone in our sleep, why not add a fire sensor and an electric cutoff?

The fan I started with: a 140mm NZXT fan for PC's.

Eventually, I landed on building a totally ridiculous, completely overkill air filtration system for our 3D printer that probably wasn’t necessary in the first place. And it was lots of fun.

Here’s how I did it.


Sketching It Out

I’m a firm believer in “measure twice, cut once”, so I started with a sketch of the system. I measured my 3D printer - an Ultimaker S3 - and jotted down a plan for the top enclosure. Then, I sketched out what components I wanted to use and how they’d connect.

The final product has changed since these sketches.

Next, I printed the parts I needed to assemble the box and the filtration panel. Isn’t it cool how a printer can print things to augment itself? Next step: Skynet.

Everything except the electronics and Lexan was printed.

Building the Partial Enclosure

I bought some Lexan from Home Depot, scored the sheets with a box cutter, and snapped them off using the edge of my workbench. It worked surprisingly well.

If you plan to do this at home, wear protective gear, including glasses.

I used Lexan because it was readily available at the local Home Depot.

After cutting the Lexan, I connected all the pieces with 3D-printed parts. Special thanks to Hans Peter for building something similar and releasing the designs on Thingiverse.

The connecting parts were 3D printed. The final Lexan enclosure.

Now that I had the shell, it was time for the guts: the electronics.


Wiring Everything Up

The first rule of wiring electronics is don’t accidentally put 12V into a pin that expects 5V. You’ll get lots of smoke and heat and generally feel bad. After you’ve learned that rule, continue reading.

No electronics project would be complete without a prototype that looks like a rat's nest (top right). I cleaned this up later!

I managed to assemble a gaggle of electronics that all needed power. Some needed 12V to work. Others needed 3.3V. Some were controlled with pulse width modulation, others with I2C. Getting them powered and conducting a symphony of functions was, in my opinion, the best part of this project.

I started with a 12V 3A power supply. This, wired into my Arduino Nano 33 IoT, a relay, and (via the relay) the fan, gave life to the essential components. I could now turn the fan on and off through the Arduino, but only at full speed.

Without the relay (bottom right) the fan could only be slowed down not stopped completely.

To control the fan’s speed, I connected its PWM pin to a PWM pin on the Arduino. It took some math to change the Arduino’s built-in PWM frequency to 25 kHz, but the slower fan speed significantly reduced noise.

Now that the Arduino could control the fan, I wanted to have it start and stop automatically. To do this, I used the built-in WiFi module poll the Ultimaker S3’s API periodically.

The Ultimaker S3 comes with an excellent API.

Then, because everyone loves data, I added some logging to my creation. I equipped the inside and outside of the chamber with sensors that measure temperature, humidity, and VOC levels. This data is sent over WiFi to a server running on my NAS (a Synology DS918+). Eventually, I’d like to use this data in real-time to control the fan speed, but for now, it’s just filed away along with information on what was printed and when.

The temperature and humidity (left) and air quality (right) sensors.

Adding two temperature sensors was a little tricky, considering they share the same hardcoded I2C address. Because of this, the Arduino can’t address them individually. My solution was to use an I2C multiplexer to let me switch between sensors and query them individually.

While all of this is happening, the Arduino is also checking a flame sensor that hovers over the printer. If this sensor detects a fire, the power to the Ultimaker is immediately shut off, and a piezo alarm starts blaring. It’s not as cool as those automatic fire suppression kits you can buy, but the alarm can be heard throughout the house.

The flame sensor (left) will report if it detects a fire in the print chamber. This photo was taken when I was still breadboarding the prototype.

Filtration

The fan pulls air out of the chamber, through a HEPA filter and a carbon filter, and then out the back. You can find all the parts I used here.


Future Improvements

The fan I have probably isn’t pushing as much air as I’d like through the two filters. I’d like to upgrade it to something better in the future.


All said and done, this project was fun to build and gives my wife and me some peace of mind. If you’ve created something similar, I would love to hear about it!

DIY Ventilation and Filtration for 3D Printing

This 4D Filtration resource is user-supported by donations, affiliate links, and/or ads.

Last Updated: June 6th, 2022

The following simulations are intended to provide a comparison between common ventilation setups for 3D printers. The animations represent the behavior of the particulates and VOCs that are suspended by airflow. The exact concentrations present during printing are not accounted for as these may be touched on in future works.

Grow tents are an affordable and effective option to keep the heat in for both FDM and resin printers. Duct from fume extractors can easily be attached to a grow tent - this is ideal for FDM printers. For resin printers, grow tents can be used to enclose the printer and vent the fumes out a window - this is occurs when you do not have access to a work area outside the residence (ie: garage, shed, etc).

Table of Contents

  • Worse Case: Indoors With No Ventilation
  • Best Case: Outdoors
  • Ideal Case: Garage or Separate Room, No Enclosure
  • Ideal Case: Garage or Separate Room, Grow Tent Enclosure
  • Using Filtration For Mitigation & Secondary Defense

Assumptions

  • The small resin printer is simplified to a 20" cube.
  • Air temperature is 90°F (32°C), and there is an external wind speed of 5 mph (2.2 m/s).
  • The room size is 12x16' (3.7x4.9 m).
  • The airflow is represented by transparent brown arrows; the particles are the spheres, colored by the legend dependent on their velocity.

Worst Case Scenario

Sealed Room With No Ventilation

A completely sealed room allows for the particle concentration to increase.
The mixture remains suspended by free convection that is powered by heat from electronics, sunlight, and artificial light.

Best Case Scenario

Balcony or Patio With 5 mph Wind

While not always practical, placing the printer outside allows for particles to be swiftly carried away by a light wind.
The goal of ventilation is to attempt to reach this behavior while the printer is indoors.

Garage or Indoor Ventilation

Garage or Room With Box Fan

Perhaps the cheapest garage or indoor solution, the good ol' plop a fan in the window method will move a lot of air but will gradually expose the entire room to the external temperature. In a garage, this could work when it is warm outside, but the cool winter air can result in print failures. A small heater will be needed in this case.
The simulated box fan is rated at 1,800 CFM and ≈0.10 inH2O.

Garage or Room With Box Fan & Cracked Window

Slightly opening a window allows for air to enter the room, ensuring that there are no stale pockets of air.
This case will be common for most rooms due to air leaking in through cracks, ducts, and under doors.
The static pressure experienced by the fan is lowered, thereby increasing the flow rate.

Garage or Room With Box Fan & Open Window

Fully opening a window or door maximizes the circulation and ventilation of the air-particle mixture.
Remember that this showcases the particle behavior and not the concentration.

Garage or Indoor Enclosure and Ventilation

Grow Tent Enclosure With Ventilation

This is an ideal solution for ventilating since the particles are contained and there is minimal impact on the air temperature of the residence.
The simulated enclosure is a grow tent that lets air in through the zipper and small cracks.
The ventilation is provided by a 120mm fan with a meager 40 CFM and 0.11 inH2O. This level of fan prevents excess heated/cooled indoor air from being lost during printing. However, when the enclosure is opened, the small fan is not able to extract the fumes as well as tube-axial (inline) fans.

Recommended Ventilation Equipment

Grow Tent Inspiration

A grow tent could be used:

  • outdoors to block wind, sun, rain, and critters on a patio or balcony
  • indoors to vent directly outside
  • in a garage to help contain heat and optimize venting
  • with a fume extractor before being vented
  • to fit a printer + a wash & cure station if wide enough
  • as a fume hood if using a strong inline fan

See Grow Tents

Sample Size = 178

Install Filtration as a Secondary Defense

Installing ventilation should always be the primary focus, with filtration acting as a secondary defense. In the event that ventilation is not possible then fume extractors can be utilized so long as they are maintained and the filters replaced regularly. For FDM printers, installing filtration is often a necessity since the vast majority of filaments are temperature sensitive.

Even if ventilation is installed, you may feel more comfortable with the extra layer of defense provided by an air cleaner. For FDM printers, the focus will be split on removing both particulates and VOCs, whereas SLA will be primarily VOCs.

Particulates can be efficiently removed with MERV 11-16 or HEPA filters. HEPA filters are not always the best option since they often have a lower flow rate compared to a MERV filter, but they perform well for fume extraction.

The efficient removal of VOCs will require a bed of activated carbon granules or pellets. Impregnated foam is not recommended since it is not as efficient nor as long-lasting as granules. The capture efficiency of professional/industrial activated carbon systems can be 92-98%, but smaller units with a carbon thickness of 1-2 inches can have an efficiency of 40-60%. The capture efficiency of carbon will vary depending on the chemicals, impregnation, thickness, temperature, air speed, and etc. The efficiency will decrease when the carbon surpasses a saturation threshold dependent on the thickness of its mass transfer zone. 

Filtration - Fume Mitigation

These small air cleaners are designed to be placed inside the cover of a resin printer. The units only use activated carbon so they be able to capture an estimated 40-60% of fumes until they become saturated. Particulates will not be captured to any meaningful extent. The P Mini air cleaner's files are free to download, it uses a blower fan with a higher static pressure, the extra battery capacity gives hours of additional use, and the thick carbon bed will have a longer life and higher capture efficiency.

Filtration - Fume Extractors

Fume extractors are designed to remove the majority of containments from the air leaving an enclosure. The Promethean air cleaner is offered as an affordable alternative that can be hooked up using duct, be inside an enclosure, or next to the printer - the higher flow rate allows it to act similar to a normal air cleaner. The BOFA air cleaners utilize HEPA media, have a thicker carbon bed, and are a bit more quiet - the downside is the price bump. Fume extractors are ideal for resin and FDM.

Canisters of carbon are an affordable option for DIY fume extraction for resin printers. The canisters can be used to filter and recirculate the air in an enclosure such as a grow tent, or they can be used to capture the majority of contaminants before venting. These do not capture particulates to any meaningful extent, thus they should not be used for FDM by themselves.

All about Raise3D's new RMF500 carbon printing and low volume printing product


Last fall, a well-known Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers, Raise3D, announced the creation of a new 3D printer for small-scale production in the industrial sector - RMF500 . The unique feature of the novelty is the combination of the ability to print with carbon fiber reinforced material (colloquially carbon fiber), wide format and affordability. nine0007

We all know that high technology is becoming more accessible every day, and the RMF500 is a prime example of this. There have been systems on the 3D printing market for several years that print carbon fiber composites of similar quality, but, unfortunately, they are not available to all companies due to the very high cost and supply problems. For example, such professional 3D printers are produced by the American company Stratasys - Fortus 450mc, but they are equipped with less technological features and are much more expensive. nine0004

Let's take a closer look at what the RMF500 is and how it differs from other 3D printers.

The RMF500 is specifically designed for printing complex parts with high durability. It will enable 3D printing companies to expand their product portfolio with carbon fiber and fiberglass end parts. Both materials specially developed by Raise3D, such as PA12 CF, and materials from other manufacturers approved by Raise3D under the Open Filament Program (OFP) will work. Parts made of carbon and fiberglass are more rigid, durable, resistant to heat and shock than parts made of other plastics. For carbon and fiberglass printing, the RMF500 uses silicon carbide nozzles with a hardness of more than 60 HRC. nine0004

The PA12 CF filament is the result of a long-term development by Raise3D engineers. This is a carbon fiber reinforced filament with increased stiffness and reduced shrinkage and does not require a thermostatic print chamber. The parts obtained from it are light and extremely durable, sometimes they can even be used instead of metal. In addition, the company has developed a glass-filled filament specifically for the RMF500 PPA GF and plans to release PET-CF, ASA-GF, PPSU-GF and PP plastics for medical use. Raise3D promises that all fiber reinforced plastics will be competitively priced.

RMF500 has huge build area 500x500x500 mm. The size of the build area matters in the production of large parts and small-scale production. For comparison, the print area of ​​the Fortus 450mc is 406x355x406mm.


In the photo: printing a large model with carbon plastic in 3 D -printer RMF 500 from Raise 3 D 9 .

For small-scale production, repeatability and print speed are very important. The maximum print speed of the RMF500, according to the manufacturer, can reach 300 mm/s. Positioning accuracy along the XY axis - 1 micron, along the Z axis - 0.09765 microns.

Synchronous feedback control with 1 µm accuracy reduces speed fluctuations as motor load changes, further improving accuracy. Stability and repeatability of printing has long been a hallmark of Raise3D printers. The FFF technology on which this 3D printer is based allows the production of parts with a high degree of repeatability, high positioning accuracy and uniform extrusion. The RMF500 can quickly print large batches of identical parts. nine0004


In the photo: production of lots from a large number of parts on RMF 500.

The printer has printing system with two independent extruders IDEX . It allows you to print with one or two extruders at once. The RMF500 can run two jobs at the same time, further increasing productivity and task speed. Extruders are manufactured using high temperature alloys and industrial ceramic composite materials. These characteristics provide stable and high extrusion speed up to 500 g/h. nine0003

For RMF 500 strong design . The one-piece frame is made of hardened steel. Stainless steel linear guides have a design load of approx. 100 kg. The bearing of the linear guides has minimal backlash and does not require frequent maintenance.

An important detail - Raise3D has developed special support material for printing with reinforced plastic PA12 CF, which can be easily detached. nine0004


Pictured: Parts printed on RMF 500 filament PA12 CF with proprietary support.


The RMF500 is equipped with four large plastic spool boxes. Switching between the main and auxiliary compartments occurs automatically. This feature reduces the amount of time spent threading the filament. The humidity control system keeps the relative humidity in the chamber below 5%, preventing humid air from entering from outside. nine0004


What else is there in the RMF500 from nice additional options. The front of the printer has a large 13.3-inch touch screen. Supports connection, management and printing via Wi-Fi and LAN. There is a reliable auto-calibration system from Raise3D.

Parts printed from carbon-filled plastic are so strong that they can be used in the automotive and aerospace industries. Of course, they will not replace functional parts that have a special load, but their scope can be very wide. Raise3D has already presented the results of the first RMF500 printing and its application. nine0004

In the photo: on the left is a prototype of the hinged window mechanism (details are printed with metal filament and carbon fiber), on the right is a carbon fiber fixture. Carbon parts printed on RMF 500, metal parts printed on Metalfuse .

Printing with fiber-filled plastics does not require a heated chamber, peak power consumption is less than 3 kW. The average power consumption per unit of print area of ​​the RMF500 is 60% lower than the competition. nine0004

The CreatBot F430 has a dual extruder, which allows you to print with different filaments with a variety of properties. Nozzle parameters can be fine-tuned manually, or you can choose from pre-proposed configurations. nine0004

High precision and impressive speed

This is where a precision industrial extruder guidance system comes in handy. This way you can create super-thin and precise objects. During the printing process, the secondary extruder runs smoothly and very evenly. The accuracy reaches 0.04 mm. 3D printing in general and extrusion in particular on the CreatBot F430 go smoothly, the nozzle clogs minimally.

  • Accuracy: up to 0.04 mm
  • Speed: up to 120 mm/s

Durable metal frame provides stability

The CreatBot F430 High Temperature 3D Printer will last for years with a durable metal frame. Optimization and coordination of all system components ensure stable and efficient operation. The first series of CreatBot 3D printers has been faithfully serving for more than 5 years and more than 8000 hours.

Fully enclosed high-temperature build chamber

Thanks to the fully enclosed build space, it is possible to work with materials that have a strong tendency to warp (ABS, nylon, PC, PP, etc.). The closed high-temperature chamber protects from all external influences, the temperature inside it is constant, and from the outside it is almost inaudible that something is working inside. Due to the stable temperature, the models do not deform during the printing process. nine0004

Fully closed, acrylic doors open for easy printout

Hot air system can keep the chamber temperature up to 70°C

Power failure recovery and filament sensor

This 3D printer will automatically remembers where he stopped. In addition, it lowers the print platform and retracts the filament. When the current returns, printing resumes without problems.

Click the icon and the process is started: heating, moving, threading the filament or starting 3D printing. Constantly monitor the printing progress and make decisions accordingly. It's easy to get the perfect result. nine0004

Glass ceramic platform for flat surfaces

This 3D printer has a glass ceramic printing platform, resulting in a bottom layer of printouts that is smooth but retains good adhesion. The ceramic surface is very convenient for applying glue. With good heat transfer, you also save energy by heating the print bed efficiently. If desired, you can turn off the heating after several layers.

Clean air with air filter system

The air filter system effectively absorbs dirt and odors emitted during operation. It also provides safety when working with highly volatile filaments such as ABS. Air filtration makes CreatBot F430 environmentally friendly and safe. Use it in the office, workshop, school, college, university, or for more educational purposes.

Automatic platform alignment for perfect surfaces

There are 25 points in CreatBot F430 to properly set up the print platform. To measure the distance between the extruder nozzle and the platform, there is a special sensor. Then, during operation, the F430 uses it to control the extrusion of materials of different strengths so that the layers are smooth. Thus, the final printouts become more even. That is, we see that quality monitoring is provided from the first layer. nine0004
