Hi all, just want to share a 3D printed part to fix an issue I had with my Klir-4 filter.
I'm not sure if it was due to my setup, or a design flaw, but I saw the filter cloth blow out the sides of the large triangular cutouts, allowing the water to bypass the filter completely. When I lowered the sensor to lower the water pressure, this problem would dissipate, but then I'd run through an entire roll of filter cloth in a week, and the cloth was still mostly clean.
My design, which will need to be glued into the cutouts, provides support to the cloth so the water is forced to go through the cloth and not around it. Now my cloth comes out the other end dark and dirty, the way it's supposed to be.
I recommend printing these one at a time as there is a lot of retracting, this will minimize stringing and cleanup (you can place at least 4 on a 220x220 bed and use the print one at a time setting).
