Description
Fan cover designed to minimize dust accumulation on fan blades without restricting airflow. This simple yet effective design is perfect for hobbyists looking to extend the life of their fans while maintaining performance.
- Efficient Filtration: Utilizes a thin vacuum cleaner filter material, precisely cut to a 3cm diameter, ensuring fine particles like dust and hair are trapped before reaching the fan blades.
- Optimized Airflow: The design focuses on maintaining unrestricted airflow, which is often a challenge with conventional fan covers that can reduce fan efficiency.
- Easy Maintenance: The cover is designed for easy removal. When the filter becomes dirty, it can be quickly popped off, cleaned, and replaced without any hassle.
Materials Needed:
- 3D printed parts from PLA or PET-G
- Thin vacuum cleaner filter material or similiar so it can easily can be pressed.

Fits perfectly. I don't use it as a filter, but to protect the fan blades. Thanks for sharing.

There is a reason why printers fans don't come with filter, it reduces the airflow considerably as you will increase the back pressure. Not sure how this will impact part cooling, have this in mind :)

Since when heat block fan is connected with part cooling? These two are completely seperated systems...

Yes and thats even worst, more heat creeps. He is right even thoung he was wrong about which fan that was. You shouldn't cover that fan especially so densly.

Printed and installed as per the instructions, did a multi color print and had a heat creep clog due to lack of cooling. If the inlet was enlarged by at least double, then this solution might be feasible. as it is currently designed it chokes off the inlet restricting airflow and will cause heat to creep up past the heatbreak causing a clog. Print and install at your own risk.

Take the foam filter. Put it on the bottom part that goes on your printer fan. Only one side snaps into fan hole so there is no chance other side will fit. So before putting on fan hole put the foam on that part and put bigger circle on top of the foam. Push it till the end and take the knife and cut the sticking out leftover foam and put the assembled part on the extruder.
