going to heat the enclosure less than ABS right oﬀ the bat. Always make sure to print

with an enclosure fan and monitor the internal temperature, which ideally should be in

the 30-35C range or lower if you can get it.

If you'd like to lower the temperature further you can always buy a more powerful fan,

but the easiest thing to do is just crack the front door a little to increase airﬂow. But

won't that let out all of the volatile organic compounds coming oﬀ the hot end? The

key is the negative pressure combined with the fact that the particles are extremely

small and light.

As you can see, the fan keeps the air ﬂowing in and the harmful particles ﬂowing into

the vent or ﬁlter.

3D Printer Design Matters

The other part of the equation is the printer design. Those printers where the hot end is

at the top of the enclosure make it easier to achieve higher temperatures because the

hot air rises to the top, and the vertical hot end position is ﬁxed. Those printers with

the hot ends at the bottom are always going to have more problems managing
