If you really want to be safe, buy a fume hood for the printer setup and vent it outdoors away from doors or windows. The use of activated carbon filters with other chemical filters could be used for indoor venting if you cannot cut a hole in the wall for the piping.



so something like this should work?

I haven't seen the printer but I wonder would it be possible to modify the plate behind the lead screw to attach a small comuter case fan. It doesn't have to be powerful, just enough to move the fumes in a small pipe connected to a duct. It is going to be ugly tho. I would rather use resins that aren't toxic like the MakerJuice wax and the one from Formlabs.

Normally you are trying to get rid of organic compounds and those types of filters I don't think really do much. The fume hood collects the fumes and vents them out to the greater atmosphere, where they dissipate into a significantly larger volume of air. You would have to funnel the airflow directly into that unit with no other leaks to be useful.

You would need a much thicker carbon filter to have a chance at absorbing the fumes and the filters don't last too long before they lose their effectiveness.
