Welcome to our guide on how you can take your 3D printing experience to the next level with the Funmat HT’s Fume Extraction Bundle. When you opt for the Funmat HD with this bundle, you’re not only getting a fantastic 3D printer but also a top-notch fume extraction system – the BOFA PrintPro 3. Let’s dive into the details of what this bundle has to offer and why it’s a valuable addition to your 3D printing setup.
The BOFA PrintPro 3 Fume Extraction System
The centerpiece of this bundle is the BOFA PrintPro 3 fume extraction system. It’s designed to keep your workspace clean and safe by filtering out harmful gases and particles emitted during the 3D printing process. The system utilizes three levels of filtration, ensuring that the air you breathe is free from ultra-fine airborne particles and noxious fumes.
These three levels of filtration include:
- Pre-Filter: The pre-filter is the first line of defense, and it’s remarkably efficient. It filters out particles at an 80% efficiency for 0.2-micron particle size and 95% efficiency for particles at one micron. It not only enhances the life of the HEPA filter but is also washable and reusable.
- HEPA Filter: The HEPA filter is a critical component, as it removes 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns. This is the size at which particles can potentially enter your bloodstream, so having a HEPA filter provides an extra layer of safety.
- Carbon Filter: The carbon filter is responsible for absorbing odors, gases, and unpleasant smells. While there is ongoing research about the efficiency of carbon filters in absorbing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the carbon filter in the BOFA PrintPro 3 is designed to maximize dwell time to enhance absorption.
With these filters in place, you can confidently print with materials like ABS or nylon without worrying about the unpleasant odors or potential health risks associated with their fumes.
Custom-Designed Plenums
What sets this bundle apart is the custom-designed plenums that come with it. These plenums are specifically tailored to fit the Funmat HT, creating a fully enclosed system. By installing them, you can further contain any fumes produced during printing, making it an ideal solution when working with materials that emit strong odors or volatile organic compounds.
Fume Extraction and Health
While there is still ongoing research on the effectiveness of carbon filters in capturing VOCs, having an efficient fume extraction system like the BOFA PrintPro 3 is undoubtedly a step in the right direction. It provides peace of mind by significantly reducing the presence of potentially harmful particles and gases in your workspace.
Easy Maintenance and Longevity
The BOFA PrintPro 3 is designed for ease of maintenance. Replacing the filters is a straightforward process that you can handle without hassle. The system’s filters have a long life, and the cost of replacement is reasonable, making it a cost-effective solution for your 3D printing needs.
Adjustable Flow Levels
The BOFA PrintPro 3 offers six different levels of airflow. You can adjust it to your preference, from a low setting that’s nearly silent to a high setting that provides a powerful 88 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of airflow. This high setting is ideal for rapidly filtering out fumes and particles, ensuring your workspace remains clean and safe.
