Isn't something like, a HEPA available in most home air filters, enough to remove most particles?

- Cthulhu_ 8y agoShould be better than nothing in any case. A guideline mentioning that there should be extraction and proper ventilation near 3D printers - just like in laser printers, soldering stations, etc - would probably be wise.
- Moru 8y agoYes, let's not forget what laser printers used to spew out. Not sure if that got any better with time?
- meesterdude 8y agonot the 0.1 size particles they talk about - all but the highest end filters cant remove that small. The best bet is to treat it like a gas and exhaust it.
- flybrand 8y agoA 0.3 micron filter will still remove some of the 0.1 micron material. Filtration works in lots of ways. Also, it is likely that the 0.1 micron particles here have a charge. The 0.3 micron test particle used for HEPA evaluation specifically does not have a charge. Using charged filter media is a common method to capture particles that are too small for the holes / pores in the filter element.
