Zabs fumes?

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if there are any nasty fumes from Zabs. I am still looking for a printer and was favouring PLA because of all the reports of bad fumes from printing with ABS. Is Zabs any different?

Thank you, Dhatw.

Thank you.

As long as I keep the nozzle clean, I don’t notice any fumes. I have the printer in my living room which is pretty big so that may help.

Mine is in a 10x10 square foot room. Wife has not yelled at me yet. We must be good…lol… Very little smell if any.

Mine is in a closed in environment, at first I did not want to have too much of a draft incase it messed up the print, I now ventilate more because it seems to make no difference to print quality. I am also a bit cautious about fumes.

even when it was closed in, it was very hard to notice any fumes at all, I am guessing the Z-ABS has low impurities compared to some of the cheaper ones and does not heat to a critical level.
