MO-RA3 dust filters

Distracted · 4 Nov 2018 at 00:24

Do dust filters for the MO-RA3 360 exist?

If not does anyone with a MO-RA have any tips for keeping dust out? I'm thinking tights or something similar maybe if there is a way to fix the fabric in place?

Tia.

Not seen one when I was looking for when I was picking an external radiator, you can get grills I know that much for the Mo-Ra 3. Could use that as a basis and just find some fine mesh I suppose. Personally with my external radiator I just find electric air compressor once a week keeps it clean.

Thanks. I have searched for filters, i was hoping Demciflex made one, but nothing has popped up. I've seen the side panels you mention and i was thinking i may have to go that route with a fine mesh added.
Or perhaps i can use 3 x 360 demciflex filters.

@Kaapstad are you still using 2x mo-ra? Do/did you have any issues with dust?

I have made filters on my rad grills using the tights method. What I did was put the grill in the tights and stretch it so it was taut on one side, used pegs to keep it taut. Then used some glue to dab through the tights on the periphery of the grill, used modelling cement type glue. When that had dried I cut off the tights such that it left a filter layer of tights on one side of the grill and left the other side bare metal. Made holes as required for the fans. Once screwed onto the case you can see no signs of the glued joint. Periodically brush dust off the filter, though vacuuming would probably be better, but just brushing off does the job for me. I guess you could use this method even if you just want the grill by itself without a rad. BTW for this to work the fans have to be on PULL obviously.

Thank you!

How does it look? Did you use black material?

Most awkward part of the procedure was going into Asda to buy the tights, trying to adopt a stance saying "Really, I am buying these for a watercooing rig, honest". I did go for black ones. If you can fit rad grills to that rad of yours and use this method, you won't see any signs of the glue seam as I say, and you will hardly see the tights themselves, until that start to collect the dust.

I've had to buy all sorts of clothes and toiletries that arent for me so that doesn't particularly bother me anymore. I know what you mean though!
