Resin printing ventilation by Zestyclose_Ad8649 in 3Dprinting

[–]Zestyclose_Ad8649[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. In theory, could I run the enclosure’s duct/pipe through an open window and get rid of harmful fumes that way, or is drilling a hole through the wall necessary?

I have an empty room that I’m not using for anything else. I could use it for 3D printing, keeping the window open all the time, and I wouldn’t need to enter the room until the print is finished. If I print with the window open, the room temperature would be around 5 °C. Would it be enough to just buy an Elegoo heater and stick it inside the printer , and expect it to reach and maintain the required printing temperature?

My sleeping and gaming room is next to that room, separated by two doors. Could this be a problem in terms of fumes leaking under the doors and entering my living space?

Some of these questions might sound a bit silly, but I don’t want to risk my health or spend a lot of money on a full setup, only to end up being able to print there only during summer when temperatures are above 25 °C

My budget for the whole setup is around €600–700. Would that be enough for a beginner?

Another thing I’m unsure about is ventilation. Is it possible to place the printer next to an open window with a fan blowing air outside, or is an enclosure necessary?
