Each of the plurality of first recesses includes a first recess diameter and a first recess center-to-center spacing relative to each other. Each of the plurality of second recesses includes a second recess diameter and a second recess center-to-center spacing relative to each other. Each of the plurality of first pores is in fluid communication with a corresponding one of the plurality of first recesses and each of the plurality of second pores is in fluid communication with a corresponding one of the plurality of second recesses. In the filter, the first recess diameter is not equal to the second recess diameter and the first recess center-to-center spacing is not equal to the second recess center-to-center spacing.
