Anyone with a working nose cannot be really surprised about that, especially w.r.t. ABS printing. There's a reason why things that burn/melt things usually have an exhaust of some kind. I'm sure those will become mandatory at some time, and rightfully so. Just like thermal runaway protection should be mandatory, and yet many cheap 3D printers don't have it either. That should actually worry people more than nano particles. I'm still amazed how many people let their printers run while no one is at home (yes, there's OctoPrint+Webcam, but last I checked that couldn't put out a fire...).

No, you're going to go about your life until its finished. That means sleeping, going to work, etc.
- cassianoleal 8y agoI have done 3-day long prints and have seen reports of 21+ days for a single print. This all from hobbyists who have full-time jobs. It would be impossible to sit next to the printer for the entire print time for any big/complex enough print.
- solarkraft 8y agoThe argument is not about it being practically possible, but whether you should. Though I also disagree with that.
