Yeah, dust is not what you need to care about. But it's not good to have a printer indoors.
There are enclosed printers that you can plug ventilation ducts that solve this problem. Some have filters, but any filter without a molecular sieve (usually activated coal) won't help you, because the problem isn't with dust.
Resin printers also give you problems on handling the resin. It's not enough to enclose those printers, you need protection equipment and a place to deal with the supplies and recent prints.
Why is dust not a problem? Heads up, I don't know much about printing
Because printers (of the kinds you're likely to find on the consumer market) don't make dust in any significant quantity.
They make fumes, which are an entirely different kind of hazard and need different precautions
Gotcha. Thank you
