Summary

Adapted from the Filament filters of both CreativeTools & sfernald. Just like the previous designs this uses a sponge to wipe dust and debris from the filament just before it enters the extruder.

Major Update!! (03-05-2015)

  • Filter is now universal with multiple connection ends, Mix and match one male and one female to create the filter that works for you. Works with 3mm or 1.75mm filament!
  • Improved threads have less engagement and more clearance to work more reliably, without requiring as much accuracy in printing.
  • Male end has a much larger surface to grab than before and texture has been added to both pieces to help open and close.
  • Hole in 1.75mm connector has been enlarged to try to prevent the need to drill after printing.
  • Still prints without the need of supports.

Connections available

  • Male 1.75mm Filament - for attaching directly to extruder or other hole
  • Male 3mm Filament - for attaching directly to extruder or other hole
  • Tube Connector - for attaching to ends of tubing or spicing inline with a tube.
  • Flat - for simple filters unconnected & just placed on filament.
