ABS Fumes

Recommended Posts

When I first started looking into 3D printing the only warning I found was that ABS can be a bit smelly. By the time I was actually using the stuff warnings were out about the toxicity (did I just make that up?) of it and sure enough headache and sore throat soon proved it despite good ventilation.

As a result I stopped using ABS, just when I was strating to beat the warping issues too.

Well anyway, I've revisted the problem by using a 3M 4251 mask. I can't smell the fumes, don't get any effects from them and I reckon that, for me anyway, that's the problem of fumes sorted.

What's everyone elses experience?
