    I hope you aren’t running abs in an area you will spend time in. It stinks and is very finicky to print. I switched to petg and never looked back. I still have two rolls in their boxes I’m never going to use.

      I’m not printing ABS yet. Just bought and am taking proper measures to make it safe to use

        Good idea. I have my 3D printer inside an enclosure (Ender 5 with the medium size tent) and attached a ventilation hose to the top of the enclosure using a plywood board.

        That hose feeds into my apartments central ventilation unit so all fumes get blown outside. Alternatively you can buy a fan and hang the hose out the windows.

        Microplastic is nasty.
