To be clear this separator will not remove everything from the solution, but it should remove any larger particles that would clog or damage the pump. This should lead to a faster flow rate and an increased pump lifespan.

I have printed version one (green) and used it with a Coke Zero bottle cap. The placement for the cap was quite tight. Once it was pushed into place I wasn't able to get it out. I was therefore not able to put glue in the correct place to make it sealed properly.

I developed version two (blue) with a slightly larger diameter, so the cap isn't so snug, and a minor extension of the cyclone separator body. I have not tried this yet, but it should work just fine.

Print settings using HATCHBOX PLA:

• Nozzle size: 0.40mm
• Layer height: 0.16mm
• Infill density: 100%
• Nozzle temperature: 230°C +-5°C
• Bed temperature: 60°C
• Cooling: 100%
• Support Structure: Tree
• Tree Support Branch Angle: 40
• Support Overhang Angle: 75
• Wall Line Count: At least 3 with a 0.40 mm nozzle. Most walls are 2 mm thick. This should ensure that the infill is 100% wall in those areas.
