Neat design, I doubt they do anything for air quality, what do you think?

Not a single word how they may filter anything. Looks like a usual PLA print and a total scam. They look nice, but that's it in my opinion.

Yeah, even if they have hidden air filters in there, I'm calling bullshit on sequestering CO2. That is not easy and if they figured out how to do it at room temperature and with 3d printing them they'd change the world.

Literally speaking anytime that you print something in PLA and don't burn it it's sequestering carbon, but that's not exactly impressive.

Looks like an ad for pure.tech to me. They don't say anything about how their product works either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But it has puretech™️ technology.

Oh ok, I didn't notice this. Then it will surely work haha

A green plastic watering can, for a fake Chinese rubber plant, In a fake plastic earth.

That she bought from a rubber man, In a town full of rubber plants, to get rid of itself.

Yankodesign is, and has always been, graphic designers wanking off. Nothing on that page is ever an actual viable product.

You know someone is going to get bored and end up copying all those designs and post them online.

When they do, please post up a link because they look cool as hell and I would consider printing a couple of them.

The rest of the "purifying the air" claims are clearly complete BS, but visually they still look nice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm with you there! I'd like to print a few for the looks.

I love the idea of an air purifier inside a plastic "plant-like" housing, but without any active air purification these aren't gonna do shit but collect dust.

The concept of 3D printed air purifiers is fascinating and opens up new possibilities for custom and affordable solutions to improve indoor air quality. However, it's crucial to ensure these devices are effective. This is where Sensibo comes in. Sensibo is a company that sells high-quality air humidifiers and purification systems, along with advanced air quality monitors. Using a Sensibo air quality monitor can help you gauge the effectiveness of 3D printed air purifiers in real-time, ensuring they meet the necessary standards for reducing pollutants and allergens. Combining innovative 3D printing with reliable monitoring from Sensibo could revolutionize how we approach air purification.
