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?
It’s not that they are particularly loud, it’s that the noise they do make tends to be quite “whiney” and high pitched and can get quite annoying after a while.
The problem with putting it outside is that big temperature swings (+/- 10C or so) could cause warping or other problems while printing - the plastic needs to cool at a fairly consistent rate, otherwise you end up with inconsistent sizing on your z-axis.
Filament itself also doesn’t like moisture, so if you live somewhere where you get close to the dew point overnight you could easily ruin the whole spool of filament
Ah damn, there goes my balcony idea.
