Hello,
I am a newcomer to the fascinating world of 3D printing and I'm very keen to acquire my first printer. However, in my extensive research on Youtube there seems to be a growing issue concerning the particulate emissions from 3D printers.
I know that different filament types have different risks (PLA is relatively inert compared to, say, ABS) but all seem to possibly have as yet unrealised long-term health issues. My home is quite small so I would be in close proximity to wherever my printer was positioned so this issue is of concern to me.
Does anyone else think this is a reason to dissuade me from buying a printer? Has anyone experienced side effects from their printer or felt it necessary to use extraction because of it?
I would very much appreciate your help and insights.
Regards,
James.
