How to clean the Mac Studio from dust?

[Sharky II]

I took one for the team regarding price—but considering the machine itself was already $4,350, I felt the expense was justified.

That, combined with the fact that I'd have had to stand the Studio on end anyway to fit it on my desk...

It's a ZEERA MacForge Studio with a 200mm DEMCiflex Round Fan Filter.

Note that the actual flat surface width on the case is closer to 195mm, so if you elect to spend the money I did, either this or a custom 195mm round filter would be a better fit.

Sorry, I don't quite see / understand where the filter goes?

So I bought this duster after watching lots of reviews and I am very impressed, it has totally replaced compressed air for me. It had enough force to blow all the dust out of my Studio Display (which shockingly had quite a bit in the fans lol)

Highly recommend!

Since my place is near the main road and tends to get dusty easily, I put together this setup, which I found online and adapted from a similar one. I’m using a Motorcycle Air Intake Filter Cleaner designed for the Harley VRSCF VRSCDX 10TH. To help create a better bottom seal, I placed a transparent Mac Studio base stand on top of the filter. The size all fit perfectly without a need for modification.View attachment 2497105

With the bike air filter underneath, how do you find the thermals of the Mac Studio? Any signs of overheating?

I queried A.I. on whether a bike filter would filter out the fine dust that gets into a Mac Studio, and A.I. was of the opinion that it would not filter out fine dust, since it's most suited to filtering larger particles. But in your practical experience with this, do you see the bike filter gathering a good amount of dust that would have otherwise entered the Mac Studio?

A.I. felt that the bike filter might hinder air flow. Hence my questions on whether you experienced any overheating?

There’s no overheating whatsoever, even when running all cores at near full speed for 24 hours, temp stay around 60 degree celsius

That said, I don’t believe there’s anything on the market for Mac dust filtering that can effectively trap fine dust like PM2.5. The only real option would be a HEPA filter, but that might lead to the overheating concerns you’re worried about.
