fkSploof - Activated Carbon Sploof | Discreet Smoke Filter
Description
### UPDATE 2021-12-07 *For those of you who have previously printed this before Dec 7, 2021, I have designed a nicer looking cap, and have made the WIDE version the recommended version to print. Going forward, all redesigns and tweaks will be based from this model. P.S. The **fkSploof_Archive.zip is only the older STLs**, but kept for historical purposes. If you are interested in printing this design, I would not use those files from that zip.* This is my custom designed sploof that I am sure is not an original idea. That being said, I was not happy with the offerings on Thingiverse, and decided to make my own, in a style that is more than just a straight pipe with charcoal pellets. This style should minimize the the footprint while increasing the amount of volume, (or surface area) of filter. Here is my parts list, I got this from Walmart, but you can easily mix and match yourself: - [DuPont 3 Way Odor Control Carbon](https://fking.gay/u/3w97n6b) - [Aqua-Tech Activated Carbon Aquarium](https://fking.gay/u/JwSpB7j) #### ProTip! Check the additional notes in print settings. ### ASSEMBLY Assuming you are using my shopping list, you'll first need to cut your filter to size, just throw away the hard plastic grid the DuPont filter came with, we will not be using it here, sorry Earth. Your filter should be cut to 16mm in length and about 60mm in height. After cutting to size, I was able to start with getting a corner wedged in, and then using a plastic knife to work the filter down both walls of the body. You don't want to pack it to hard, so if you are getting resistance in one area, try working on getting it down in some other part before returning, air has to be able to pass through this, if you find it too hard to blow air through,you can remove 5-10mm of the filter height, and try again. The pellets add almost no resistance, so your kink would be here. After you've somewhat successfully wedged your filter down the walls, you can also try and cutting one to size for the inside of the cap. I was able to do so by placing the cap down on the filter and just cutting the filter around the shape of the cap, then cutting an X in the center of it by folding in half and cutting it twice. You should be able to manipulate the filter around the threads on the cap. I was able to anyways. Screw in the cap. You can choose to glue the threading or not, I'd glue it if you are gifting it to someone, otherwise it can be reusable. Turn the unit over, and start adding your pellets through the top, tap the body a little bit to get the pellets to settle as you are adding more. Stop when you get just under the start of the thread line for the drip tip. Cut another piece of filter to fit the exact space of the thread hole, and then screw the drip tip in, again, to glue or not is up to you. ##### There you go! Your own discreet smoke trap! I've actually been amazed at how well this works, but I haven't used other designed sploofs from here, so you'll have to let me know how other's compare.
