Are people still printing with ABS? I was under the impression that everybody uses PLA most of the time, and has moved on to PETG for applications requiring higher durability [1]. I suppose ABS still has a couple of desireable properties, such as being able to smooth the surface with acetone vapor, but seems pretty niche at this point.
That being said - it's still important to have adequate ventilation when running a 3d printer no matter which type of filament you are using.
