Dust. (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I really want to buy a printer (resin or filament), but I'm concerned about the health aspects concerning inhaling the dust.

Is it really safe to have a printer indoors? Should I rig up something on my balcony instead? What room do you have yours in?

How do you guys deal with the dust? Do enclosures work? Any complaints from family members?

Hah, for me it's in a bathroom with no shower, and typically printing when the bathroom isn't in use. I also keep the filament enclosed with desecant and a little ESP humidity sensor, just in case.

Hmm, sounds like a tricky setup
