    Not surprising but I’m glad a famous 3d printing youtuber points it out.

    My printer is set in an Ender tent, it’s like a grow tent and it’s connected to the ventilation system in our apartment. Everything gets vented outside.

    Also due to static electricity most particulates will stick to the air tubing. Which is good because it will agglomerate and is therefore easier to get rid of.

    Microplastics and VOCs are bad mmkay. If you can smell it you’re doing it wrong.

    “Printing with pla will release harmful VOC” followed just seconds later by “this video is sponsored by toxic resin xxx, which emits way more VOC during printing”

        He actually did that. It’s not me saying “huh but at least fdm is less toxic than resin”.

        If you make a 20 minutes video about air quality and smells when 3d printing filaments it’s a bit ridiculous to insert a sponsored segment saying “a low odor resin that can be safely cleaned with ethanol” like if it required less care/protections

        Kinda like UAE funding a movie against fracking.

    I have my printer in a shed that I leave for the duration of printing, anyone know if this is safe?

    Or is being in the room without it having been ventilated still a danger
