/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2894763
This pdf is a section of someone's thesis basically cycling air through a chamber with a printer in it with the hood on before, during, and after print and analysing the captured "fumes".

Worst thing imo is the isocyante (2,4-TDI). Isocyanates got reclassified a few years ago and they sensitise like motherfuckers. The acrylate monomers are also pretty shit.
Are they getting released in high enough concentration to fuck you up? Fuck knows, someone will have to do more test using a printer in a "normal" environment but I would 300% reccomend not sleeping next to one of these fuckers long term.

Both of these vapours can be handled with the right mask and active ventilation tho.
