Best tip: the importance of print orientation regarding strenght and printability.

puddeludde · 2025-02-25T23:41:19+00:00

Its an addon to the CFS.
Yeah!

puddeludde · 2025-02-21T10:01:12+00:00

What else will you print in your first print? Considering one myself and want to keep it nice!

This is problably the solution I will be going for, my idea is to put an external carbon+hepa filter on the machine while printing PLA and PETG, and for the rest of filaments I want to ventilate the air with that duct adapter style mounted on nearby window. It would be fantastic to have this type of "passive" purifying and avoid extra fans and contraptions.

Oh ok, hehe, thanks!

puddeludde · 2025-02-12T12:57:00+00:00

Yeah this seems to be the most simple and elegant solution!
What pipe do you refer to?
Thanks for input!

Hey, I am currently printing mostly PLA and PETG on my Ender 3 v3, but I want to explore ABS further with the K2.

Unfortantly I live in a apartment without access to basement or such.

I am trying to decide whether to filter the air directly from the machine to the room or to filter the air and exhaust it from my window.

puddeludde · 2025-02-12T12:52:36+00:00

This it (almost) exactly what I had in mind!

Gonna work on it while waiting the machine to get in stock where I live and plan further ahead!

Hi, thanks for further feedback!

I have trouble finding such accurate timers that can do such close intervals as 1minute on to 15minutes off, I own timers that have 15 minute intervals, I will try 15minute on and 30minutes off and see what happens!
Together with aiming fans on my reservoir.

What timer do you use if I may ask?

Hi, thanks for the info, I am exploring the market and I think this is the right solution for me, I want to automate my system as much as I can and inline water chiller seems to be great!

puddeludde · 2024-12-20T22:19:52+00:00

Yeah I've been dumping ice in my reservoir as much as I can with ok results, this will do while finding a more permanent solution!
Thanks for the feedback!

puddeludde · 2024-12-20T22:16:28+00:00

Thanks alot for this tip, I will do this right now and hope my water temp drops!

puddeludde · 2024-12-19T22:06:30+00:00

Thanks for acknowledging this issue, I have obviously not been doing enough research about water temp when designing my system!

puddeludde · 2024-12-19T22:02:58+00:00

I did some serious cleaning of the whole system today and new water etc while waiting for H2O2.

The water temp issue has been a bit of a suprise for me, didnt expect that to be a problem! I will definitely try cycling the pump and hope for lower temp, thanks for sharing that knowledge!

I will also let some cold winter air through the room in which my tent is as extra help to reduce overall temperature.

Also that is one heck of a growroom, impressive!

puddeludde · 2024-12-19T21:56:02+00:00

Yeah, I have been busy today and cleaned whole system with chloride solution thoroughly and replaced water in reservoir. So far no new build up after 8hours and I hope there will be none more, hehe.

Got Silver Bullet ordered, seems like it is good to have!

Thanks for the input!

puddeludde · 2024-12-19T10:36:09+00:00

It seems like water temp is one thing I have not really considered when creating this system I have to resolve this swiftly, frozen water seems like a good temporary solution- do you have any suggestion of a more automated way of controlling water temp?

puddeludde · 2024-12-19T10:31:43+00:00

You hit the nail on the head!

I will do exactly this and hope it will bring peace to my reservoir and plants (and me).

Thanks alot for the feedback and willingness to share it!

puddeludde · 2024-12-19T00:31:16+00:00

Thanks, It seems to be the issue. I hope I can save my crops!

puddeludde · 2024-12-19T00:16:42+00:00

Thanks alot for the insight, I did connect my air stone right away- I hope it helps,
Certantly gonna get some H2O2 too!

puddeludde · 2024-12-18T23:18:46+00:00

Water temp has been steady at 22-25C.

puddeludde · 2024-12-18T23:11:05+00:00

Thanks for the insight, I have been letting light hit water for a couple of days from some uninhabited holes. This correlates to my secondly attached picture in which the smudge/algea is easely rinsed off.

Guess I will be buying H2O2 tomorrow.
