About this 3D model

Adapted from the Filament filters of both CreativeTools & sfernald. Just like the previous designs this uses a sponge to wipe dust and debris from the filament just before it enters the extruder. Major Update!! (03-05-2015) - Filter is now universal with multiple connection ends, Mix and match one male and one female to create the filter that works for you. Works with 3mm or 1.75mm filament! - Improved threads have less engagement and more clearance to work more reliably, without requiring as much accuracy in printing. - Male end has a much larger surface to grab than before and texture has been added to both pieces to help open and close. - Hole in 1.75mm connector has been enlarged to try to prevent the need to drill after printing. - Still prints without the need of supports. Connections available - Male 1.75mm Filament - for attaching directly to extruder or other hole - Male 3mm Filament - for attaching directly to extruder or other hole - Tube Connector - for attaching to ends of tubing or spicing inline with a tube. - Flat - for simple filters unconnected & just placed on filament.
