If you can smell it it’s definitely getting into our lungs. We all end up using different types of filaments. An enclosure with a filter would go a long way to keeping these volatile chemicals from getting into our lungs. That hot end especially when it gets stuck on it just cooks it. Good video. We need more of this in our community
For sure, at worst I think of it as better safe than sorry. Working on an enclosure myself. Looking at a HEPA/Carbon filter then putting it in an enclosure. Not perfectly ideal, but given where I live that's the most practical. I hope you have a baller enclosure yourself!
Thank you for breaking this down for people like me who are in a hurry and don't have time to research this in depth. Additionally, thank you for your ABR part 3 videos; they were a huge help in my studies, and I was able to obtain certification September 2023 in no small part to your videos.
Have you also looked into O.S.H.A. studies and safety regulations for employees who work in larger scale industrial manufacturing settings using the same polymers you covered in this video?
I have not....yet! Were you curious or do you know some info already? That would be interesting. If OSHA doesn't care that should ease our conscious. Or they really care and that will make us worry even more
I'm in the process of adding a heat recovery ventilation system to my house. One of the extracting holes will be placed right above my 3d printer. hopefully that will remove some particles.
Very nice! I would love to have something similar. I even thought about putting mine in the laundry room and connecting an enclosure to the dryer vent. Sadly my room just isn't big enough for that
Great video! Pla is considered as bio degradable but only under specific conditions such as temperature, humidity,... The thing is that this conditions are not met in our lungs, I believe. I redirect you to this video : ua-cam.com/video/jCsnVp6mEbk/v-deo.html which talks about pla degradation.
@@OverExtrudedPhysicist Many of those conditions are only found in landfills too. It's a great tech advancement in polymer science, but it has a ways to go.

Glad to help in both arenas! Thanks for the comment, I greatly appreciate the support
Also enclosed it using solid walls that are sealed and a quality carbon filter with a seal around the door

Yeah interesting for sure, that could quite be. It's tough when we just don't have enough data. Do you use an enclosure or filter?
