Workshop cyclone separator

Welcome designers and makers! I have designed a cyclone separator for the workshop.

I conducted thorough testing with various cyclone separator iterations, culminating in a flawlessly functional model.

The cyclone separator comprises two primary components; however, I've incorporated an additional filter insert for enhanced filtration.
A filter grid is secured within this insert, effectively retaining coarse debris within the cyclone container during aspiration.

Assembly:

• The grid is affixed to the filter insert via the filter ring using three M3x10 screws.

   

• A custom-cut foam rubber sheet is positioned between the two halves to ensure a hermetic cyclone seal.

   

• The filter insert is fastened to the upper cyclone section with three M3x10 screws.

   

• The two cyclone halves are then assembled internally using six M6x20 screws and externally, along with the second seal and the polycarbonate plate, using six M6x30 screws.

The respective hose connections feature a 40mm diameter.

The files for the filter grid, polycarbonate plate, and seals are included with the model files.

The outer diameter of the polycarbonate plate requires customization to match your collection container.

HS PLA red and PLA Matte from GEEETECH were utilized as filament.
However, any other PLA, PETG, ASA, etc. filament is suitable, depending on your specific needs.
