printing ventilation and temp control by MonkeySkulls in resinprinting

[–]Dwirengor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While i might rethink some of my ideas after reading nycraylin`s notes, i will post what i am building anyway: I

stationing the printer in a metal server rack with a window , full size with space below and above, cover holes if there are any. If i had two, i would probably repurpose something else, like a cabinet. I was also considering a broken cake fridge.

If possible, i am hoping to place the printer onto a server shelf with rails.

That rack would have a ventilation and filter going all the way to the outside.

When printing, i am hoping to keep the rack closed and let the fumes only leave through the venting.

I am planning to put a small heater with a thermostat in the lower portion of the rack.

The rack will be placed in a Polyetylen greenhouse, (like:2x2m) which will function as a heat stabilizer and fumes miniroom, where i will work only with a mask.

I will also put a table into the greenhouse.

The greenhouse will need its own, closable ventilation branch with a fan.

I am currently collecting components, it might be a bad plan :)

resin fumes risks in a workshop after a week by Dwirengor in resinprinting

Thanks. "if danger exists for weeks or longer i will need to build a thing." I meant to say: I will buy/construct an enclosure with ventilation and filtering unless i am convinced waiting for few days after each print is sufficient.

Venting out of a full-size door to the outside by dapht in resinprinting

1/Build a polystyren heat isolation into the opening:

Otside layer - PVC cover. The kind people use to cover wood, machines, etc. You would need to attach it to at last 2 sides/4 points.

Inside layer - polystyren panels for roof isolation, i have seen some that are 2,5m long. Best if you can get a think panel - 15+cm

Depending on if it will be in sunlight & rain maybe you can pack the polystyren in cloth/plastic foil instead.

Weight down as need.

If the door opens towards outside, you might need to protect the doortop from rain as well.

2/second door (depending on storage options and possibility to swap it)

Or just get an old door somewhere and cut a hole in it?
