#SUAFT - AC & HEPA filter for enclosures
2032 messages · Page 3 of 3 (latest)
that is awesome! do you have multiple HEPA filters, or just one in the bottom?
All of the filters have the HEPA element, they are stacked like a tube and have one overall internal cavity.
feeling like maybe I should make an AC tank that is a bit taller, like 1.5 HEPAs high and compare performance
or maybe larger AC volume?
If the prints have warps or you use a textured plate, there may be air leakage between segments. An o-ring can easily be modified to fit in there, but I just squirt a quick thin circle of hot glue and jam the pieces together with a ziplock bag between one of them, this makes a thin and flexible seal once it cools and you remove the bag.
sweet, thanks!
@sly cliff should i get a specific grain size for the activated carbon?
4x8 is good!
mm?
grains between 4.75mm and 2.5ish mm in size
aight, i found a bag in that range
you'll have some smaller pieces in the bag (probably from shipping?), but most of it will be the right size
ok
Isnt it already compatible?
lol now that you mention it, someone did make a mount, didn't they? i've been away a bit
Here it is! how is this working?
Good!
I should / could integrate a SUAFT into my raise3d printer because the builtin ventilation is... "minimal viable product"
Should be doable right?
how long do you guys think nevermore pallets would last on idle
i've barely printed 40 hours since i filled my suaft but other than that its just been sitting with no real airflow going through it
As long as it fits in the chamber and you can wire it up, sure!
If it's not soaking up stuff (because you're not printing), it'll last a very long time
Like, at least a year, if not more
well it might be soaking up dutch quality air and cigarette smoke, but only passively, the fan wasn't working
If the fan is not forcing air through, it's not soaking anything up
