Description
I don't expect this to completely make sense without much more discussion. Based on my most recent discussion, I believe the OpenSCAD system should be improved by:
- Making the trap chamber larger, so that particles are less likely to be re-picked up.
- The shell is too think and cracked; it needs to be made thicker to be sturdier.
- The taper fit between the paper filter holder and the inertial filter holder is not very good; this should be standardized.
- This helix may be too large. I made it large because I had trouble with the laser sintered 3D print from xometry, which was clogged with powder. I had to build a conical reamer for it. (Though the advantage of this is that it was dry, and not very sticky.)
