Filament Filter Holder – Remix with Aluminium Cone Insert

First, credit to the original model:
Filament filter holders – designed to prevent dust and debris (including cardboard flakes from filament spools) from reaching your nozzle, which can cause clogs or print defects. The original model accepts standard filament filters that can be easily replaced.

I really like these filter holders, but I noticed they don’t last very long, especially when printed in PLA+ (as I originally did).
After some thought, I came up with a modification that significantly increases durability:
➡️ The addition of an aluminium cone insert.

This cone is installed inside the printed holder, and the necessary M6 thread must be cut by the user.

My Remix Changes:
Designed to accept a metal cone for increased durability

M6 thread required (cut manually by the user)

Same basic shape and function as the original, so it’s compatible with standard filament filters

Print Settings I Used:

Material: PETG (chosen for water and chemical resistance, and better durability than PLA)

Layer height: 0.24 mm

Nozzle: 0.4 mm

Infill: 80%

Walls: 4 wall lines

Top/Bottom layers: 6 each

Supports: Enabled (required for this design)

Note: My wall and top/bottom settings weren’t specifically optimized – I simply kept my slicer’s previous setup.

This remix should last much longer than the all-plastic version, especially in demanding printing environments.
If you try it, let me know how it works for you!

📌 Note: This is a remix of filament_filter_holder_v2_press_side.
