Description

PDF

This is a rework of my own model from thingiverse (from 2012).

“cyclone to catch the spray while purging/cleaning an airbrush.”

There may be some sputtering especially with airbrush nozzles bigger than 0.2mm.

Prints without supports, a filament/profile with no stringing is recommended. There is now no easy way to remove any stringing from the internal cavity.

Version 2.1:

  • Smaller diameter, this seems to be better
  • Added a funnel on the top
  • Tested with an airbrush with 0.4mm nozzle, 2.5bar and plain water. This filters out ~98% of the water.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

These are some redesigns that were not possible back then. This version is now one piece. The old version had to be 2 parts to remove stringing. 

This cyclone has a thread to screw on PET-Bottles. Thanks to: https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2
