Three-Stage Filter Core — Purpose-Built for 3D Printing
Pre-Filter: Captures stringing debris, and coarse dust to protect the downstream media and extend service life.
HEPA H13: Rated ≥99.95% at MPPS, highly effective against ultrafine particles (UFPs
Activated Carbon: High-iodine pellet carbon for VOC and odor removal—targets styrene (ABS/ASA), caprolactam (Nylon/PA), and acetaldehyde/lactide (PLA/PETG).
Recommended Stacking & Replacement
General use (PLA/PETG and mixed filaments)
Stacking order: Pre-Filter → HEPA H13 → Activated Carbon
Typical replacement cadence: printing ~8 hours/day → ~3 months per set (actual life varies with material, enclosure cleanliness, and fan speed). Replace sooner if you notice airflow drop, odor breakthrough, or visible discoloration.
VOC-heavy use (ABS/ASA focus)
Alternative stacking for stronger odor control: HEPA H13 → Activated Carbon → Activated Carbon
(Replace the pre-filter with a second carbon stage for increased styrene adsorption. If your enclosure is dusty, keep the pre-filter and shorten the carbon change interval.)
Note: Due to the housing design, the pre-filter uses a half-width outer foam. When using HEPA H13 as the first stage, trim off half of the outer foam gasket on the HEPA's intake/outside-facing edge to ensure proper fit and airflow sealing. Trim foam only—do not cut into the filter media.
Compatibility
This filter core is designed exclusively for the Mintion 3D Printer Filtration System V1.
