Sorry but this is about the 4th or 5th time someone posts this here in the past week… It’s getting old. :wink:

nano-sized particles = scary word for ‘smells’

@Normand_Chamberland , @Shachar_Weis
Thanks, guys :slight_smile: I browsed the posts in this group quite thoroughly (or at least I thought I did) without a match, but I’m far from a regular here. Sorry for the repeat. I had the impression the article was refereing to http://www.epa.gov/oar/particlepollution/.

I admit that searching in G+ sucks big time. I was sure this news was posted a few times here but the only one I could find is this one:

When you monitor 3D printing news like a few of us, you see the same news repeated over and over and over again everywhere…

Still, I’m now thinking about making an HVAC chamber of some sort for my printer, as I exclusively print ABS. Not sure how to go about it yet. I’d like to get 2 birds with one stone and make it so it acts as a heated chamber as well, not sure if it’s possible, a fan sucking out the air inside may possibly suck the heat as well?

@Normand_Chamberland you could make a heat chamber and put in a small hvac system (pvc pipeline) run a fan through a equal sized pvc pipeline with an hvac filter inside and run the pvc back into the heat chamber. At most you would loose only a few degrees. Then it’s pretty much a closed loop system.

Nano partial scare solved. Btw I do worse to my self by smoking and cooking a steak than my printer does to me sitting on the desk printing all day.

@Jeremy_G_WeisTek_Eng Thanks, but not being a tinkerer myself this kind of project kind of intimidates me. I have not built my printer, it came assembled and pre-calibrated.

My problem is when printing I can’t help but have my nose right over the bed being mesmerized for the whole print. I gather I’m breathing a lot more nanoparticles than the regular RepRapper. :stuck_out_tongue:

@Normand_Chamberland its all good, we all start somewhere. If you want help later on let me know and I’ll brain storm with Ya, I built a heat chamber for my I2 but no longer use it as we moved to a hotter climate.

I stare at my printer too don’t worry there’s just something fascinating about being able to bring your own design to life and watch it happen right before your eyes.
