YouTube Episode: Are You Breathing 3D Printer Fumes? Bambu Lab Upgrade!

Is your 3D printer secretly flavouring your lungs with VOCs? In our latest YouTube video, we take a closer look at vapours and emissions during 3D printing. Did you know that a single gram of activated carbon can have a surface area of over 3000 square metres? That's about 1500 imaginary Dwayne Johnsons of absorbing power! But is that any good if your 3D printer filter looks more like a box of charcoal? And let's put it this way: a few crumbs of activated carbon are not necessarily the final enemy of printer fumes...

So we put the Bambu Lab X1C through its paces and compared its built-in filter with a powerful HEPA 13 upgrade from Alveo3D. With real air quality measurements, we show you whether you can breathe more easily in future or whether you should switch to a gas mask.

And if you suddenly fancy some fresh air - the right air filters are of course available from 3DJake!
