Box Fan Air Filters - Particulates Only
A box fan can be used to DIY an affordable air cleaner. To maximize air flow rate, buy the box fans with a higher wattage and use air filters that are 4 inches deep panels or have multiple pockets. While these are more expensive upfront, the additional surface area allows for a higher flow rate, and these filters have a higher holding capacity, which means they last much longer than a cheaper 1-inch filter. The lifespan of these filters can easily reach 12 months.3D Printing Air Quality Roundup

Activated Carbon Cartridges - VOC Focus
Cartridges have thicker carbon beds that can be used to efficiently capture VOCs, but it does not eliminate all of the VOCs from the air. Carbon thicknesses of 1-2 inches capture 40-60% per pass of VOCs like IPA, Acetone, or Styrene. Coconut shell carbon is cleaner than coal-based carbon, but the coconut derived carbon is more expensive. You should be using acid free carbon in proximity to a 3D printer to prevent corrosion.3D Printing Air Quality Roundup
