I was forced to create this filter about a year back when my normal ehaim filter broke. My goal was to create an adapter that would fit ehaim filter material and work with generic usb pumps which can be found for cheap on sites like aliexpress. 

At first it was only a temporary solution as I dodnt think it would work for long. But at the moment it has been running my aquarium for almost 1 and ½ of a year nonstop without a single hiccup. 

Due to the size it is not recomended to use this filter in aquariums bigger than 50l. 

Both pieces can be printe in less than an hour. Nozzle sice is your choice I used 0.4 mm. The two pieces need to be glued or welded together before use.

This filter is also suitable for shrimps as there is no way that shrimplets could be sucked into the pump.
