Nevermore StealthMax electronics and fastener kit.
The Nevermore StealthMax is an air filter developed for 3D printers. It utilizes activated carbon and HEPA filtration to capture harmful fumes and unpleasant odors released during plastic melting, creating a safer and more pleasant environment.
The Nevermore StealthMax is an upgraded version of the Nevermore Max with a more warp-resistant frame, smaller size, an optional exhaust for cooler printing, and easier assembly.
With its 2-liter carbon basket, it can hold 20 times as much carbon as the Nevermore Micro, and thanks to its innovative dual filtration design, the StealthMax allows for recirculation of filtered air within an enclosed printer to both maintain chamber temperature and further improve filtration efficiency and longevity.
Dual Filtration:
The StealthMax does not make any compromises and utilizes activated carbon and HEPA filtration:
Activated carbon filter: This type of filter is designed to absorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are gases emitted during 3D printing, and they can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat. An activated carbon filter can help to reduce odors and improve air quality.
HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter: This type of filter is effective at capturing tiny particles 2.5um in diameter and below (in 3D printing often much smaller). These particles can - compared to larger PM2.5 particles - have direct toxic effects if inhaled, so a HEPA filter goes a long way to capture both small particles as well as any carbon dust, improving air quality furter in your printing space.
Recirculation:
The StealthMax and your printer's enclosure function as a closed-loop system, enabling air to recirculate through the filter multiple times. This results in a significantly higher capture rate of harmful particles compared to a single-pass exhaust filter.
The effectiveness of this process is diminished if the enclosure has leaks, however, opening the exhaust slider creates a slight negative pressure inside the enclosure, thus drawing air in through leaks and maximizing the StealthMax's filtration potential.
