Question: laser fumes extraction and filter technology indoors 'how too/diy'

Back to fumes.......
3D printing smells pretty bad, the admiral began to grumble, but I also got a tickle in my throat and a slight headache if I was in the same room for a long time.
Putting my air purifier, with a carbon filter mat in it, next to the printer solved the problem. I am going to make an Ikea Lack enclosure around it anyway with a small filter in it.
But so it's a good idea for a laser printer to do the same.
Back to autocad to design a few parts for my printer.

You are quite right. The filter removes particulates, but not the smelly volatile organic compounds like formaldehyde, acrolein, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, acetaldehyde, and furfural, guaiacol, phenol, syringol and catechol. plus many more, some toxic, some toxic and carcinogenic, and some merely carcinogenic.

sounds like you would need an activated carbon filter too.
