FIlter system: when needed, and when not?
HI all,
I'm thinking about upgrading my mk3s with https://www.prusa3d.com/product/advanced-filtration-system-for-original-prusa-enclosure/ , but I'm not sure if this is needed. For so far I can gather the purpose of the filter is to filter out ultra fine particles. I print mostly PLA and PETg, is this filter of any use in this case?
Cheers!
RE: FIlter system: when needed, and when not?
Some people would argue that ANY plastic will generate particles and might be concerned about the cumulative effect. I for one feel safe using PLA and PETG without any filters. Up to you to decide what you're comfortable with. I use Elegoo mini filters https://a.co/d/22Cxx0X with ASA.

I have the 3d Upfitters enclosure, with a simple fan and filter.
When it's closed, there is little, if any, odor, even when printing ABS, which can stink if done on an unenclosed printer.
