Product Information
- HEPA (High-efficiency particulate air) filter category H14 99,995% for the most penetrating particle size (MPPS) 0.3µm. combined with activated carbon granules 1-3mm mesh size.
- That filter category is recommended by the French National Center of Scientific research for FDM 3D printers
DIMENSIONS DRAWING
- Filter size including the sealing foam.
- We recommend you to follow these dimensions if you want to design a slot for this filter.
Recommendations
- Handle filter with caution.
- If the HEPA surface (the white pleated surface) is damaged, the filter lost efficiency.
- Protect your hands when you take off used filter and put it in\ a plastic bag.
- A saturated filter is not recyclable.
LIFETIME
Filter working life are associated with many factors including filament type, melting \temperature, concentration of nanoparticles and VOCs, ambient humidity… We suggest to replace HEPA filter P4D according to the following table
Filter replacement
| Intensive use| Occasional use
---|---|---
4 months| 8 months
We do not recommend going above 900 hours of use before to replace the filter.

FOAM DIMENSIONS DRAWING
Slot with dimensions between 156mm and 159mm is recommended to ensure good sealing.
- We do not recommend making a slot under 156mm x 156 mm, if you compress more the geometry of the frame will be distorted
FIXED DIMENSIONS DRAWING
Notice the frame is assembled by hand and we have a tolerance of +/- 1 mm.
