Introduction
When dust accumulates inside a device, it can reduce cooling efficiency, leading to overheating and potential hardware failures. This 3D-printed washable fan filter is designed for case fans, preventing dust and debris from entering while maintaining proper airflow.
With a simple yet effective design, it supports multiple installation methods and is easy to install and remove. Additionally, since it is washable and reusable, it helps reduce maintenance costs while keeping your device clean for the long term.
Tired of frequent cleaning and maintenance? This filter is the solution!

- Use 6mm × 3mm magnets to attach the filter to the case, allowing for easy removal and cleaning.
- Press-Fit Pins
- Designed for ventilation holes with pre-drilled fan mounting screw holes but no installed fan.
- These pins feature a cylindrical shape that gradually widens, creating friction-based retention as they are inserted.

Usage & Maintenance
- Makes cleaning easier! The filter traps dust before it enters, reducing internal buildup.
- Cleaning Instructions:
- Remove the filter from the fan or ventilation opening.
- Wash with water and allow it to dry completely.
- Reinstall once fully dry.
- Unlike disposable filters, this filter is reusable and cost-effective.
Important Notes
- Ensure the air intake surface is flat; an uneven surface may prevent proper sealing.
- Do not use magnets near sensitive components such as hard drives.
- Make sure the filter is completely dry before reinstalling.
- Allow the filter to cool completely before removing it from the print bed; forcing it off may cause tearing.
- Filament type affects heat resistance—choose one suitable for your environment.
- Fan screw spacing follows standard specifications. If you need a custom size or dimensions, let us know for consideration.
