[urq] prepump filter

[James M]

I think that you might fine that 3D printing a filter body will be 
prohibitively expensive. 3D printing has a lot of limitations that the 
media continuously forgets to tell you all about.......

It would be more sensible and economical to commission to a batch of new 
filters from the original manufacturer, and do a group buy instead. 
Alternatively, select a standard in line unit from a catalogue, and get 
a sheet metal mounting bracket made up instead.
