Cheap ABS smells but good stuff like Polymaker doesn't really smell.
I was referring to ABS warping on open frame printers because ABS prints don't like drafts and cool ambient temps. That's why I built the Voron, it's enclosed so the internal print chamber gets up to about 60c so my ABS prints don't warp. Also, because it's enclosed, the smells don't get out. I didn't build this printer with a vent.
Larger animals will probably be okay... hope you don't have birds... lol

Just stick to safer filament like PLA and PETG. The general consensus is that an air purifier nearby and adequate ventilation in the room is enough. There aren't really any major VOCs that you need to worry about like styrene in ABS/ASA.

ABS is not for beginners anyways... especially if you don't have an enclosed printer. If you're just going to print things for looking at and throw in the trash, PLA is fine... it's the most common and easiest to print... and it's made from corn... lol

Thanks partially due to the discussion here, I picked up a Bambu A1 with AMS Lite last month on sale.
Printed a bunch of stuff/tools to fix little things around the house, but Halloween's coming up, so costume props have been consuming printer time.
My kid wanted to be Antman, so we got a commercial costume and mask, but i resized a prop schematic i found online. Had to create/engineer the mounting system to the belt. The Pym vials are custom as is the disc holder, and the vials/regulator have magnets attached so they snap into the regulator.
I'm impressed by the detail level available even with FDM printing.
The ten rings took some finessing to print out clean with minimal support. They're designed hollow so I can put in glow bracelets to light them up. The blue light is just a quick lighting test. I also designed in magnets so that they self organize into a clean stack, but are still loose enough to jangle around on my wrists.
I haven't found a good Shang Chi top that I like yet, so I'm going as his dad, Wenwu. Going to do the flashback suit version. Grey suit, black shirt. Easy Peasy.   | |

sweet, i picked up a bambu a1 mini a few months ago. been using it to make vacuum adapters for my tools in the garage. quickly found out that the ones that are available from sites like printables are not always as compatible as advertised, so i had to learn how to make my own in fusion360.

Yeah, I don't think I've printed anything yet without modifying or confirming the measurements with calipers. I haven't found time to play with fusion360. I've made do with tinkerCad so far.

I picked up the Bambu A1 with AMS Lite back in the summer. I've been printing a bunch of things and enjoy 3D printing again.
The 5 mins of auto levelling and all the automated prep work does take a bit longer to get the print started, but for the most part, I really just send the print from my desk and leave it. I know I'll have a good print done when I check on it later.
It beats having a less reliable printer start printing right away, but needing to stand there for 5 mins to watch it just to ensure the first layer doesn't mess up before I can leave it. My old printer had a warped bed too, so even though it was a 220x220, the actual area of successful printing was more like... 150x150.
