/diy/ - Do It Yourself

POVERTY TRONXY CUNT HERE
FIRST PRINT DONE!

I want to build an enclosure now, because fuck microplastics and fuck plastic fumes.
I wish I could 3D print in fucking wood or metal, but metal would cause worse fumes, and cost 200,000 bucks. Wood is a fantasy.

Now, I'm gonna take a cardboard box, since cardboard flames up at 200C, and as someone else said online, it ain't gonna get to 200C unless the printer itself catches fire, and at that point, shit's fucked, and most enclosures are flammable anyways
One can also make thermal cardboard by combining cardboard with a solution of borax, so I might flameproof it.

Might also mist my cardboard enclosure with water.
Lining with tinfoil may be an option.
I'm gonna 3D print a fume extractor or vent with a PC fan and some air purifier sheets, maybe a respirator cartridge, or a dust mask on top.

Next print will be some bed leveling knobs, I fucking hate wing nuts.
