I really want to buy a printer (resin or filament), but I’m concerned about the health aspects concerning inhaling the dust.

Is it really safe to have a printer indoors? Should I rig up something on my balcony instead? What room do you have yours in?

How do you guys deal with the dust? Do enclosures work? Any complaints from family members?

    I have a particle counter (1, 2.5, and 10 μm) and don’t see any significant dust creation from my filament printer. As far as VOCs, I don’t remember seeing any significant rise from PLA, but ABS, ASA, and especially resin definitely do offgass significantly.

    I keep my printers in my workshop along with my airbrushing stuff and a portable air purifier.
