The use of Micro Channel 3D Printing on filtration of distilled water and sawdust solutions was successfully implemented in the present study. The system was utilized to see the clarity of the filtered distilled water as well as to measure the filter power of Micro Channel. The specimen was manufactured in terms of weight of solution per unit time of test. This study evaluated the ability of Micro Channel 3D Printing to filter distilled water solution and sawdust (size 600 microns) on Micro Channel specimen. The filter capacity was set of 1 mm and 0.5 mm in diameter. The independent variable of this filtering test was uses six solutions with different percentage compositions (0-5%). The test was carried out on two dependent variables, namely the filtering variable for one minute and the filtering variable for 60 minutes (dry variable). This research also examines the dimension that is most effective and can be used for the diameter of the channel hole. The evaluation was used microscopic test, considering the type of resin used, namely plant-based resin that safe for use in general conditions. This research also shows some failures during the printing process and some solutions that can overcome these problems. References [1] Ghosal, P., Gupta, B., Ambekar, R. S., Rahman, M. M., Ajayan, P.
