The Visi-Mist Oil Mist eliminator does an excellent job filtering the vacuum pump exhaust to prevent oil buildup in the shop. The coalescing filter design does a great job collecting the oil mist on the inside of the housing, prolonging the life of the filter.
However, the design doesn't do such a great job of staying upright. The support fins at the base of the filter just aren't broad enough to withstand bumps of living in the shop. Knocking the filter over degrades the filter and reduces its efficacy.
The solution was to CAD a wider support base in SolidWorks and 3D print it in nylon on a Mark One.
