We’ve all heard stories of the dangers of 3D printing, with fires from runaway hot ends or dodgy heated build plates being the main hazards. But what about the particulates? Can they actually…
Does this mean that 3D printing causes cancer? No, not by a long shot. But, it’s clear that under lab conditions, exposure to either PLA or ABS particulates seems to be related to some of the cell changes associated with carcinogenesis.
tl;dr maybe don’t sleep where you print
Dang, my nightstand printer is such a great white noise generator too. ;p
You joke but…
Bro wth I have my printer in my room. I print pla. Fucking hell I gotta move this thing somewhere else.
You could make an enclosure. You’ll get better prints too
Even then it’s safer than playing with rocks it seems.
