Robert Cowan | Fixing a Design Flaw - HEPA Air Filter @RobertCowanDIY | Uploaded 5 months ago | Updated 6 minutes ago
I like my Gweike HEPA air filter, but it has a major design flaw. For the pre-filter, only a small portion of it is actually getting used due to how the inlet is designed. Armed with some filament and a 3d printer, I'm going to fix this. Most laser air filters seem to have this same design, so this process should work on most of the filters on the market.
