Description
This small accessory can protect your FFF 3D printer filament from two common issues - cleaning and lubrication.
A sponge wipes the filament clean from any dust particles and prevents them clogging the extruder. By dropping a few drops of common mineral oil on the sponge the filament passing through gets lubricated thus relieving the extruder motor from strain. Lubrication is specially useful if the filament needs to travel through long tubes before it enters the extruder. INSTRUCTIONS 3D-print the provided STL file and insert a small piece sponge into the filament filter. Poke a hole into the sponge and make sure the filament passes through and comes out at the other end. Soak the sponge with a few drops of mineral oil (as for sewing machines, door hinges or bicycle chains). Place the filament filter somewhere in between the spool and the extruder. If you have a plastic tube which guides the filament to extruder (such as a bowden solution) make sure you place the filter before the filament enters the tube.

muy útil gracias
Thanks for sharing! Am I correct that you are somehow poking a hole through the sponge before pushing the filament through the sponge? Also, are you poking this hole before or after the sponge is in the holder? Cheers.
I am not sure how the designer intended it to be done but I poked the hole after I inserted the sponge. This way i could make sure it was a straight punch between the two holes because with my luck id punch the hole and then not have it line up. I also added oil to this filter so it oils and cleans the filament as its fed into my extruder. I have been getting allot better print results since adding this.
