<div dir="ltr">Hi Mel,<div><br><div>I've usually run the 3D miniUp away from students (in a staff room) and found that it was not a problem. (I react to some chemicals) However, since 3D printers tend to use heat to metal the plastic as part of their process. The smell is not too bad, but just to be sure I (at a minimum) would keep it near a window for ventalation. </div></div><div>I would check the MSDS for the plastic you use. PLA & ABS are the common ones.</div><div><a href="http://studentorgs.engineering.asu.edu/asumav/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Repraper-PLA-MSDS-for-Makerbot.pdf">http://studentorgs.engineering.asu.edu/asumav/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Repraper-PLA-MSDS-for-Makerbot.pdf</a><br></div><div><a href="http://download.makerbot.com/filament/ABS_MSDS_MakerBot_Stratasys.pdf">http://download.makerbot.com/filament/ABS_MSDS_MakerBot_Stratasys.pdf</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Jamie</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 9 February 2017 at 08:13, Mel Yuan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:melyuan@hotmail.com" target="_blank">melyuan@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
If you are using a 3D printer for class work, where is it situated? And how is it vented? And for what make/ model?<br>
<br>
There is a lot of contradictory advice out there.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Mel<br>
