I was DEAD WRONG about air quality
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!
