Description

** PROJECT NOTE: While this is a COMPLETE SOLUTION. It may not be perfect, improvements can be made with extra supports etc. To remix I didnt have the original step file so I had to make do with slicer additive and negative parts.

Make sure you have clean edges on both parts of the quick connector if its not twisting on.

Exhaust system for X1 and P1S, uses a 4' hose with twist connector for easy removal during maintenance. Exhausts fumes from MC and Chamber grills. Air intake happens through the poop cute. Make sure to remove the carbon filter as it restricts airflow and isnt needed when venting.

Simply tape or glue both pieces together where the small square tunnels meet. Then screw once side in over hte exhaust MC hole and one side over the chamber fan hole. Attach the quick connector to your 4' hose and twist it onto the connector.

I used this with a 6 inch inline fan using this coupler:

and this splitter to cover 2 P1S printers:

Im not an airflow expert by any means so this may not be optimal, but it works for me and has more than enough flexibility to be used with more and more units by using couplers to an inline fan. I put more effort into making these prints functional rather than pretty so they can probably be improved with better profiles.

Turned out well, I did have to seal the coupler to the exhaust fan vent because my print did not come out perfect but that is due to user error and is not a design flaw. Enabled me to print ASA with minimal fumes and smell. Also I did not need an inline fan as my window is very close to the printer and the exhaust fan does all the work for me. For anyone wondering I did turn my exhaust fan setting during print to 10% so my print would not warp.

looks great! I'm suprised the exhaust fan was strong enough, although I didn't try myself. nice work!

@MasterBuilder

for reference, this is what I meant by having an online fan. I pretty much have it set as low as possible (as long as I feel air being sucked in a bit through the poop chute). this ensures a good negative pressure "seal".

Wow nice setup! Also that makes sense.

Hi i am interested to add ventilation for my P1S as well and came across your post. This looks pretty cool. Curious about how did you orient and what kind of support did it produce and how easy was it to remove all that?

The designer has replied

@MasterBuilder

i oriented it exactly as it is in the file. the supports weren't too bad and they came off easily. it's not the best quality on the interior of the part, but I was going for least amount of material so I added minimal supports.

@NicholasClooney

Replying to @MasterBuilder :

Thanks for the reply! I see. yeah even tho there looks like there is a lot small supports but this orientation is much better than the auto oriented one (40-50g of support needed). Alright. I am gonna give it a try and see how it goes. I know you mentioned about removing the carbon filter helps a lot.

@NicholasClooney

Replying to @MasterBuilder :

Another question, did you add any additional venting fans or just the ones in the machine already? And how well does it work? can you still smell the fumes after this mod? I used the official exhaust adapter and I can still smell the fumes coming out of the machine.

@tsl13

So I have already printed the MC fan box with the hose outlet on it. I see that the poop chute cover has no way of collecting the poop. How do you deal with the poop? Also have you ever printed ASA or ABS with this enclosure?

The designer has replied

@MasterBuilder

the poopchute is still open. you can see in the photo I have that rainbow poop chute ramp I printed elsewhere

Replying to @MasterBuilder :

Okay, I had seen that but I was mainly confused because in the preview tab of OrcaSlicer I can see the poop chute being closed at the bottom with filament. I am attaching a screenshot. Unless I am missing something...
