I was DEAD WRONG about air quality

Video Description

In this video, I talk about air quality. Thanks to DREO for sponsoring this important discussion! Go to https://bit.ly/46rTY0D and get a fantastic deal when you buy a DREO air-circulation unit. I love my 3D printers, but in the back of my mind, I know that they are quietly emitting all kinds of nasty pollutants and cancer-causing compounds. And even if you only print PLA, the same is true of your 3D printer or printers. In this video, we're going to see if and how we can drastically improve the air quality in my workspace and yours, with affordable consumer-grade products such as circulator fans, smart air purifiers, smart fans, and so on. I know, I know... it's not a "sexy" topic. But it's an important one - and one that I've wanted to cover in a video for a while... ever since getting not one, but TWO sinus infections from laser cutting, 3D printing, sawing, and so on. So when DREO reached out and offered me some of their smart circulator fans... I jumped on the opportunity. Throughout this video, I tried to test the different ways that circulator fans could impact the air quality in my 3d printing workspace. As you'll see in the video... the results were NOT what I expected. Nonetheless, I think there are some MAJOR, valuable takeaways for every 3d printing enthusiast, maker, or tinkerer... so I hope you enjoy the video! 🤫 Get my custom filament and printer profiles, buyers guides, and much, much more on Patreon: https://patreon.com/thenextlayer 💬 JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord 🎥 IN THIS VIDEO: 🎥 00:00 Introduction 00:33 Why You Should Care 06:16 The Test Process 07:30 Takeaway No. 1: ABS and ASA Printing Are (Likely) The LEAST of Your Worries 10:11 Takeaway No. 2: Replacing Polluted Air Is Absolutely CRUCIAL 12:30 Takeaway No. 3: Clearing Out Accumulated Nastiness Takes a LONG Time 15:14 Takeaway No. 4: The Air Outside May Not Be As Pure As You Think 17:14 Actionable Advice Going Forward 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO: 🔗 👉 Lost In Tech's "Your 3D Printer Stinks." video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxMUj7pcPPI 👉 "Air flow: It's all about fan thrust" by Matthias random stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3FH3boEu04 👉 "Best fan placement to move air through the house" by Matthias random stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L2ef1CP-yw 👉 DREO smart fans + air purifiers: https://bit.ly/46rTY0D 🛒 RECOMMENDED GEAR: 🛒 📍 Complete list of 3D Printing accessories: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing 📍 Complete list of my videography gear: https://kit.co/jlevi/content-creation 📍My favorite thing to 3D Print: https://jle.vi/multiboard 📍My recommended electronics & control boards: https://jle.vi/bigtreetech 📍 My favorite 3D printing "accessory": https://jle.vi/magigoo | https://jle.vi/whambam 📍 My favorite 3D printing filament: https://jle.vi/polymaker 📍 Check out the official TNL merch: https://shop.thenextlayer.com/ 📍 PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY SHOPPING USING MY LINKS!
