I do recallusing a 3M filter that removed VOC's but perhaps it was a higher MERV Rating.

Here is a substitute.

FPR 12 HomeDepot filter.

The Honeywell Ultimate Allergen filter is made of a reinforced pleated media designed to capture particles down to 0.3 microns, 300x smaller than the diameter of a human hair. This filter incorporates the power of Arm and Hammer odor reduction technology into the media in the form of performance enhancing dots. Its large surface area improves the efficiency, providing a greater dust-holding capacity and lower energy costs. The filters electrostatic charge helps attract particles that would otherwise pass through. The Honeywell Ultimate Allergen Filter is effective against the following contaminants: dust/lint, airborne dust mite debris, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, microscopic allergens, virus carriers, odor, most smoke and smog particles, as well as VOCs.



Even a MERV 17 will not clear VOCs. You need a chemical reaction, and MERV describes a purely mechanical property.

It is smart to combine an activated-carbon filter with a particulate filter, particularly (heh) if you are operating a 3d printer. Those really foul the air, in ways hard to detect without instruments.
