Lets Talk "Air Cleaner"

From what I've been reading, it's the nano-particles from melting ABS that's seems to be the concern.

Thanks for bringing this up. Fortunately, so far I've only done a limited amount of ABS printing.

Conclusions: In this work, we present some of the first known measurements of which we are aware of UFP emissions from commercially available desktop 3D printers. Emission rates of total UFPs were approximately an order of magnitude higher for 3D printers utilizing an ABS thermoplastic feedstock relative to a PLA feedstock: ∼1.9 × 10¹¹ # min⁻¹ compared to ∼2.0 × 10¹⁰ # min⁻¹. However, both can be characterized as “high emitters” of UFPs. These results suggests caution should be used when operating some commercially available 3D printers in unvented or inadequately filtered indoor environments. Additionally, more controlled experiments should be conducted to more fundamentally evaluate aerosol emissions from a wider range of desktop 3D printers and feedstocks.
