Zortrax fumes extraction by mrh85

Last crawled date: 2 years, 12 months ago

Main features:
Front side can be easy removed for maintenance tasks
Chamber has thermometer measuring temperature inside the printer
Back side has a hole for cable and filament tube
Pipe is connected by a brace that can be easily disconnected and it should be disconnected when the extractor is switched off
Chamber has many useful tool holders
This is only an example how you can extend your Zortrax machine.
Please be aware that this is work in progress.
Background history of the project:
I was looking for a solution to problem with fumes generated by 3d Printers.
I was surprised by the indifference of people to fumes generated by their devices.
So as any regular further of a infant child I decided that I will build my own solution for fumes extraction to protect our health.
Before I bought a 3D printer I decided that this will be my first project :)
I hope that example presented in the instruction bellow can save us from fumes that are not fully examined.
Printed parts:
2 x Window-pipe adapter - ( symbol:WPA )
Bottom parts for chamber:
2 x Bottom Right Corner ( symbol: CBR )
2 x Bottom Left Corner ( symbol: CBL )
2 x 8 cm Front female connectors ( symbol: FFC8 )
2 x 8 cm Side female connectors ( symbol: SFC8 )
4 x 1 cm Front male connectors ( symbol: FMC1 )
4 x 1 cm Side male connectors ( symbol: SMC1 )
2 x 1 cm Middle male connectors ( symbol: MMC1 )
1 x Back side adapter ( symbol: BSA )
Top parts for chamber:
2 x Top Right Corner ( symbol:CTR )
2 x Top Left Corner ( symbol:CTL )
2 x Extractor holder ( symbol: EH )
1 x Thermometer housing ( symbol: TH )
Printing parameters:
Material: Z-ULTRAT (Exception: male connectors should be printed with more flexible Z-ABS)
Layer thickness: 0.19 mm
Infill: Light (Exception: Extractor holders should have full infill)
Support: 10 degrees light
Corners description:
They can warp so I use side covers and try to keep warm air in the room
Use mixture with Z-ABS or Z-Ultrat residues and pure Acetone - it creates glue for the surface
Circular holes are designed for support removal with help of a scalpel handle (scalpel that is in default toolbox)
Circular holes can be also used for screws
Male connectors description:
they are so small because sticks are very fragile, so it will be easy to replace them
print sticks horizontally ( otherwise they will break ! )
print with more flexible Z-ABS material
Female connectors description:
these parts are printed in various orientations, therefore you can expect some discrepancies between the results and the design
Window-pipe adapter description:
unfortunately I had to print it horizontally, so I can warp
I connected 2 parts with ABS slurry
Parts that you need to buy in a hardware store:
Flexible pipe 3 m (radius 5 cm)
2 x Metal braces for pipe
Dark shelfs cut into rectangles:
2 x 16x200x340 (left and right site)
1 x 16x235x340 (front side)
1 x 16x285x340 (back side)
2 x 16x97x340 (roof)

Dark protective film
Dark insulating tape
Electronic devices used in the project:
TOOLCRAFT ZD-153A Soldering Fume Extractor
Thermometer with probe 1.5 m BLOW TH001
