RE: Filtration Kit.....
35C ish with PLA and around 40C for PETG, it's about borderline for what works for me usually but Summer here is just getting started.
RE: Filtration Kit.....
I don't get, why the chamber fans won't spin at all. They're restricting the airflow for the filter fan, which has to spin a bit faster.
For PLA, you want the highest airflow possible, so basically setting a limit for chamber and filtration fans and run them at that maximum.
Btw, I'm thinking about designing some kind of duct from the filter box to the front intake for higher temperature filaments, to get better filtration, without too much cooling. No idea how bad it would look though..

I'm not sure I agree unless you have big overhangs. I find PLA prints better and warps less printed in a hotter chamber. I know PLA doesn't warp that much but on big parts it still does.
I guess in my experience and I print quite a bit because it's for business, I've not ran into a situation yet where printing inside a closed enclosure for pla has caused any issues. I'd be interested to hear from someone who has experienced issues other than what I mentioned above which is a steep overhang. Being an engineer and a designer I generally don't design my parts with big overhangs because it's just poor practice and the finished part never looks as good. Essentially I design my parts without overhangs.

I completely agree and I set the max chamber temperature to 35°C, when my parts don't have critical overhangs.
My post was taking the default 40% limit and 20°C for PLA as the starting point, from which it doesn't make much sense, in my opinion.
RE: Filtration Kit.....
Hello, I can't find the Assembly manuals for the CORE One Filtration System. Forget how easy can be to guess how install it, I wonder if PRUSA is shipping the kit without publishing the proper installation manual or it is somewhere in the site.
I see only the manuals for the filtration system of the Mini enclosure box.

It's in the maintenance section for the Core One (no idea why), next to the guides for belt tension and nozzle swap:

RE: Filtration Kit.....
Yeah I'm mostly just disappointed as to the lack of explanation as to how it functions. I thought there'd be more details closer to shipping time.
But they just tell you how to install it and that's it.
I do still need it here and there because of where my printer is, but something a bit more easily removable or modular would have been better if it's going to be a full replacement for the case fans.
There are details in 6.3.1 firmware release notes on GitHub from 2nd of April. Which is not very convenient place. They should put int somewhere on the web.
RE: Filtration Kit.....
I received the shipping confirmation for my filtration system today. I'm curious to see if it's good and worth the money, or at worst if it will have a negative impact on the print results.

I doubt it would have a negative effect.

RE: Filtration Kit.....
I got my filtration kit today. It looks well built, but I'm not sure if I want to install it or not. It completely covers the rear fans, so anytime it's trying to vent it will blow through the filter. Doesn't that mean it will wear out the carbon filter when it doesn't need to be used? It's got an extra blower that kicks on if you're printing a material that needs filtering, but it sure looks like I don't want to leave it on when I don't need it. Odd design.
RE: Filtration Kit.....
I ordered Filtration Kit two days ago. said it would not ship for 11-12 weeks... It shipped today. I got lucky or their web sit is not updated.

And yet my order from 1/31 still waits for the filtration kit.........

My three filtration kits shipped (arrived today). I have one Core one kit and I am waiting for two MK4S to Core one kits.

RE: Filtration Kit.....
Damn, that’s frustrating!
RE: Filtration Kit.....
If I did end up buying I think I'd print a small lip with magnets, so rather than screw the filter onto the rear of the printer, I could attach with magnets - meaning its easy enough to unattach and move to the side when not needed......
RE: Filtration Kit.....
That means the holdup on my Batch 1 order (first 15 minutes) must be because of the camera then, and not the filter.

Carbon filter will wear only when there is something to filter by carbon. So it should not. However when printing for example PLA, it will be slowly clearing the air in the room. So depending on how clean air is around it may or may not wear out the filter.

If the product photos on the website are correct, the mounting holes on the filter are "keyhole"-shaped. So you can just slide the filter over the screw heads via the larger circular holes, then let it move down by a few mm so the screw heads sit securely in the slots.
RE: Filtration Kit.....
My kit is out for delivery for today. I'll install it later tonight or this weekend.
