    Air Filtering system

    If you've used ABS material before you'll know it gives off a bad smell that can make you noxious if inhaled. I have my printer in a very small room so the concentration of the fumes is very exaggerated. After going in and out of the room for several hours while printing, I did feel a little sick.


    I can enclose the printer to contain the fumes, but I don't think that will be enough. So I wanted to pose a question to the 3DPB reprap community:

    Has anyone implemented an air filtration systems into their reprap? What other methods have you used to avoid breathing ABS fumes? Is an airtight enclosure good enough?


    thanks,

    -Brian
