ASA/ABS Crashing Test Thread

@JonRaymond

Yes the printer has a carbon filter but there are several issues.

A. It isn’t enabled by default.

Once enabled you can adjust its operation in Filament Settings

B. Enabling the “Exhaust” fan during printing of ABS/ASA will decrease the camber temperature as it draws in cooler outside air. The problem with this is that it can cause part warping and adhesion issues.

If the smell really bothers you can print/buy a “BentoBox ” which is a similar carbon filter but it recirculates the air inside the chamber instead of exhausting it.

Further up the thread I also posted this.

@JonRaymond

In my opinion the chamber fan doesn’t meet the requirements to deal with the fumes while printing with ABS/ASA. There are better ways of dealing with the fumes with items like the Bentobox, external enclosures or even whole room filtration. Each person should deal with the fumes to the level that they are comfortable with.

@Barryg41 also has a really good post about how he deals with fumes.

@Barryg41

I have posted here on this forum about how I work with the fumes of ABS/ASA.

For me this is a hobby not a job. I dont print everyday and im not in a hurry to get a project off the build plate to get on with the next project.

This is my setup for my print/hobby room and house.

I find Bambu Labs ABS products very offensive for me. So! I bought this for my printing room. I had this installed for my house HVAC system. My printing room is also part of my houses HVAC system. Works great for me.
