FDM 3D Printers Can Be Dangerous For Your Health!!!

[@xlasvegan7x]

I’m really paranoid about the effects but thanks for talking me down. I bought one and it’s still in the box because I’m still resarching how to ventilate a room while printing. BTW I tig welded for a major airline for 30 plus years and I just retired..luckily I still have healthy lungs..cardio 4 to 5 times a week plus weights and stuff.

Good job speaking up about this! Vented print tents all the way. Never ABS and a space that is easy to clean regularly. 👍

Another great video! I can definitely attest to the dangers of fdm. The first printer I bought was a prusa mini and I operated it out of my single bedroom apartment (with no ventilation). After about 3 days of printing, I started sneezing a lot, my eyes were itchy, I started to get headaches and I was very nauseous and my girlfriend felt the same way. I had no idea my 3d printer was the problem until I found out about the dangers of micro plastics and VOCs. Needless to say, I now filter and exhaust the fumes from my printer after that awful experience. I also keep them in the garage now.

Plastic melting and some chemicals pouring out... No surprise there. Just have enough distance and fresh air.

I'm curious with the speed of printers now should we be talking about 5 printers instead of 30 as far as whats dangerous? I got a bambu lab A1 mini and I've noticed more smell coming from it. I think its just because its putting out more plastic faster.

A few young science teachers in korea have died from cancer using 3d printers for the school project.

I am choosing an FDM printer instead of a resin one for health concerns. Good video as we must be careful when it comes to our health.

hey i just got my ender 3 v3 se yesterday and was printing for about 7 hours all the while it was within a meter of me and now am not feeling too well could they be connected?

[@TrippyyTreyyy]

so would you say your fine to use resin printers as long as you have ventilation and wear all the PPE?

[@3DPrintsEverything]

Yes

[@jddavis8431]

So what if you only have one fdm printer?

[@3DPrintsEverything]

Your fine.

​@3DPrintsEverything iv been researching this and I have several questions of my own so I have a 3d printer in my bedroom but if I only have one then could micro plastics still build up in my lungs

[@BiscuitBoy-im7be]

I have one question I have one fdm printer but I am printing frequently almost everyday but no overnight prints, my printer is in my bedroom and I only use PLA because I know that's safe I also crack open a window that has a visor but still has a some small holes in it to ventilate, so overall im fine correct?

Can you link to the article

[@3DPrintsEverything]

Sure thing

[@Lavonne1]

So if you're poor don't worry about safety lol

[@mrrilz11]

Great information!!

[@ProtoIndoEuropean88]

This type of technology needs to be done away with. Printing food? life? what is this blasphemy?

[@4nlimited3dition_4n3d]

lol

[@astroplutonium]

If you print 24/7 in a tiny room without ventilation then YES the answer is it will kill you. For the rest , stop smoking/drinking/painting or sanding in your house or using diesel or petrol in your cars and then be worried about FDM printers....
