A newly shared project describes a 3D-printable filter that removes most microplastics from water, reportedly using a PEG-based material. The design has drawn attention among hobbyist and science communities, where people are discussing how a cheap, home-printable filter could help tackle widespread microplastic contamination in drinking water.

Why now: Growing public concern over microplastic pollution has made an accessible, printable filtration solution an appealing topic.
