Filter on while printing or after printing?
I have just built the enclosure with the filtration system.
Stupid question, when using smelly filaments, should I use the filter while printing or after the print is done (before opening)? I cannot find any tips on this.
I am quite afraid that while pricing it can generate wind on the model and I only imagine disasters with tall objects.
LED and Filter, I thing it should be good to be able to pilot it on/off from octoprint rather than just a switch.
Thanks,
Torpi
RE: Filter on while printing or after printing?
From Enclosure page: "The filtration system is useful when you print materials such as PC Blend Carbon Fiber and other materials that produce particles during printing."
That's all I know - Yeah, I bought filter. lol
RE: Filter on while printing or after printing?
Well, I plan to test those materials, that’s why I got the enclosure. Nylon too. Not sur le it’s hot enough for tall objects but small gears should be good.
still not sure how to use the filter !! 😉
RE: Filter on while printing or after printing?
I have this question as well. I read I believe in a thread here somewhere that they were having success turning the filter on after the print was completed and not getting and odors. I didn't see anything on the Prusa site regarding it. But have yet to try any ABS or ASA
I also wonder that if I need to leave the filter running during the printing, should I do a PID tune for the machine with the filter running, because I'm sure it has some effect.

Hello, I received my enclosure yesterday, I don’t know about the filter but I think it must be on while printing, and some minutes after the print finish.
Regarding turning on/off filter and LEDs with octoprint, maybe with enclosure plugin did you found something? I really need this too, I was using another LEDs that I turn on/off with my smart home application but now I can’t do it anymore.
RE: Filter on while printing or after printing?
Well, you would have to hack the PCB to be able to pilot it since there is no connection to the printer nor octoprint. Like having a GPIO that you connect to the actual switch.
RE: Filter on while printing or after printing?
Hello,
I juste mount the enclosure and start printing with the filter on but the temperature of the bed drops by more than 10°C so the printer set a error...
Did you have already encounter this problem ? How to fix that ?
Thanks for your help
