For fellow 3D printer enthusiasts, I want to get my kid a 3D printer and only use the low toxic fume filaments - mostly psa and the like. The bedroom is the best place for convenience but of course bedroom and 3D printer is considered nono. What about next to a window and rigging up some kind of ventilation system? This seems very doable, and safe to me. Additionally, I want to buy one to put in my office, and the same question is on the table. Please spare me the " only a moron would put a 3D printer in their kid's bedroom, you want you kid to get lung cancer, etc" comments. I know, that's why I'm asking both here and various other places. I'm not going to do a damn thing until i fully vet this question from myriad sources, many better than here (this is not going to be my only source, and it is likely my worst. Of course, there might very well be 3D rinter experts here who can point me toward great information, so why not ask?).
 
Get an enclosed printer that has built in filtration on the ventilation fans. Also/alternatively, you can print ducts on the printer exhaust that you can route through hepa and charcoal filters for additional filtration.
