That has to be very annoying, Bill! Off gassing from plastics is definitely a health concern, especially when they’re heated to the level that FDM printing requires. - Alex On Wed, Jun 22, 2022 at 8:54 AM Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Wow. . I am allergic (but I don't know if there is a clinical name for the effect) to the plastic gas that sometimes comes from a 3d-printer. I need to keep my 3-d printer well ventilated. I would probably die there with all that plastic! Just thinking about it....omg :-) I can't even open a box of packing tape without having a reaction. I can't go to the Lego store either, I can smell it 30 feet away when I approach at the mall and they just got a bunch of new shipments. I am not allergic to anything else. It's the weirdest thing.

I’m planning to drive out to Midwest Reprap Festival this weekend:
Anyone else going? Anyone want to go? It’s in Goshen, Indiana, and I’ll be driving from western Maryland.
