    Microcenter ABS is pretty nice. In general they do some good stuff.

    Of course you run exhaust fans! I run Bambi’s with enclosures, I don’t have an exhaust fan setup yet.

    I often wonder about fumes and cancer risks.

      Thanks! I’ll have to stop by and pick up a spool. I would rather start with something that prints well for someon else than some random spool.

      I’m guessing you mean Bambu? If so, you could print a [Nevermore](https://github.com/nevermore3d] and/or Bento box. They’re both in-chamber active carbon filters and will help cut down on fumes. This is all I was running before the exhaust fan. Regarding the exhaust fan, I’ve found I don’t need much flow - just enough to keep a slight negative pressure in the printer. I remember finding someone who ran their exhaust fan through a 3m respirator cartridge and they found that to be pretty effective when combined with an in-chamber carbon filter.
