Tucker - 40mm Carbon Air Filter w/ Stackable Cartridges by Sndgjaytr

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This stackable carbon air filter is similar to my old version except that this can be tucked against the table leg to make it low profile. You can rest it on the table top or bolt it to the center of the leg to save table top space for other uses. Just print and stack more cartridges to further reduce the odors in your printer enclosure.
I use my Tevo Tarantula strictly for ABS so I use 2, one on each back legs.
TIPS
How to re-activate/refresh the carbon charcoal to reuse:

take your old activated-carbon and put it in a pot.


fill the pot half way with FILTERED drinking water and NOT the tap water from your sink. the reason is because you don't want any of the dirty stuff (calcium, rusts, sediments, etc..) to clog the pores of the carbon charcoal.


boil it for about 30 min. keep refilling if needed to keep the pot from drying out. after a while you will see the water turn brown-ish.. those are the nasty stuff that get absobed from all those stuff you print. ewww


take the carbon charcoal out of the pot and while it is steaming hot put it in the toaster oven and bake it for 15 min or until dry. (I like to bake it more than letting it sun-dried because I like to take advantage of the steams and steam the crap out of it to clean it even better. and secondly I'd like to use it as soon as posible.. I hardly ever give my printers any breaks)

when they're dry, pop them charcoal back in the cartridges and you are good for another 3 months, until the next "re-activate".
if you own a fish tank then you can do the same with the charcoal inside your water filter.
