Serious Carbon Air Filtration for 3D Printing - especially for removing the smell from uv resin printers by engineerable

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

I made an activated carbon filtration system that removes all the stink from my Photon. I used a 5-gallon bucket trick to draw the airflow through the filter from outside in, the way these filters are designed to work, vs all the carbon filter builds I've seen push the airflow through the filter from inside out, which makes it more difficult/impossible to use the pre-filter.
In addition, I found a fan with variable speed control that only draws as much air as is needed to remove the smell thereby increasing filter lifespan and results in silent operation.
