Description

This is an improved version of my space-saving design, enhanced with insights from my HVAC engineer friend.

The updated design optimizes airflow and efficiency by making better use of the cylindrical air filter’s surface area. Please note that this is specifically designed for the Levoit Core Mini Air Purifier, not other Core models, such as Core 300—keep this in mind before printing.

For P1S and X1C 3D printer users that operating in compact living spaces, venting fumes and particles externally can often be challenging or impossible. This specially designed base provides an effective indoor filtration solution by seamlessly integrating with the Levoit Core Mini air purifier.

The base features a 4-inch outer diameter (OD) intake port, perfectly matching the Levoit Core Mini airflow rate. When paired with a compatible exhaust adapter attached directly to your printer and standard 4-inch flexible ducting, this setup creates an efficient, budget friendly filtration system.

This configuration significantly reduces airborne particulates, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated during printing processes, making your indoor environment safer and more comfortable. It’s an ideal solution for apartments, dorm rooms, offices, or any space where external ventilation is impractical.

@mcmaven if you plan to exhaust the VOC of any material which means you plan to always give the chamber a negative pressure, please go to Bambu Studio and enable active air filtration for the printer and the materials. The chamber fan only has about 45-50 CFM at 100% speed with the activated carbon filter box. The static pressure increases, the CFM dropps. same thing applies to the external fan. By measuring the differential pressure of the both fan, you can find the right external fan speed-the more static pressure, you need the higher fan speed. Keep the differential pressure within 0.2 water column.

Thanks Darth, I'll do that. I was certainly overcomplicating my design... Steve

@mcmaven is there a good way to split this print in to parts? currently i don't have good setup (more location) to print 12h plus prints.

Hi, thanks for the comment! I’m the creator. For strength and durability, I wouldn’t recommend splitting the model—it might compromise its integrity, even though printing does take a lot of time. If you’re looking for a quicker, filament and space-saving alternative, try my the other design that can be printed in just 12 hours: https://makerworld.com/en/models/976851-space-saving-levoit-mini-base-with-4-duct-adapter#profileId-949860

Hi, @mcmaven I read your post and discussed with the HVAC engineer friend. We think P1S using bed temperature and the material presets to determine the chamber fan behavior. It is a complicated process. instead of measuring the temperature, you can try to measure the pressure differential to achieve that. The basic idea behind any contamination control system which also applying to the enclosed 3D printer is to release the contamination in a controlled manner. Therefore, the 3D printer either creates a slightly positive pressure in the chamber to evenly release the low risk VOC through the gaps of the printer, or a negative pressure in the chamber to release the high risk VOC to user designated area via the chamber fan.
