3D Printing Prusa Cabinet

[DragonRocketry]

Anyone using the Prusa cabinet? If so, are you using their filtration unit? Are you still venting the cabinet outside? I got the filter system but not sure if I need to vent it outside or not. I will be running ABS and Nylon mostly with this unit.

I have a different system with a Hepa filter. It is similar. I do not vent it outside. If I were printing lots of ABS or another more toxic filament, I might be worried.

Both particulates and VOCs are absorbed by the Prusa hepa filter which includes active carbon granules. I do not vent my Prusa enclosure filter to outside air since in theory there is no need to and it would reduce enclosure temperatures.
