Ok, I need some opinions: I am going to be putting an HPE MicroServer Gen8 at a remote site. My plan is to make this as self-contained and resilient as possible; In addition to mounting a router inside the server case, a friend 3D printed a dust filter holder for the front.

But what filter medium should I use?

It has only one fan, so I need to keep static pressure to a minimum.

Pending thermal tests I intend on sealing up the gaps in the back (near the PCIe slots)

This is the filter holder I had printed: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2773068

I will do some thermal stress tests to see how the air flow impacts thermals (including the #Mikrotik router I am mounting internally) and how my goal to seal up the gaps near the PCIe slots (to keep dust from coming in unfiltered).

At this point I'll probably get a cut-to-fit nylon PC filter mesh but the filter retainer does have space for something potentially pleated...

@hmhackmaster I don't yet have room for a 3D printer, thus I LOVE thingiverse and printathing for just these reasons. Good luck with your quest!
