This is an electronics housing printed in Innofill FR PLA, and this is what happens after a few years. Note that this is with a heat load of just 4W!

It spontaneously disintegrates. It makes you rethink on the use of PLA in certain applications, flame retardant or not...
I've seen several videos and explanations that make little sense, no longer work, or only work in commercial versions.
But... the following method (mostly and often) works (for now).
In the past I've printed some small housings for electronics. Most hobbyists do, and most of the time we're not considering how flammable (printed) filament can be.
I've gathered a few illustrative videos, as well as a list of materials and possible (Dutch) sources. This may lead to a little investigation into the flammability of filament. I might turn it into a YouTube video, yeah! (Pfffff 🙄)
The Internet is a weird place. It has allowed people a kind of freedom, a place to express themselves in ways that were never possible before.
On the other hand, its (perceived) anonymity is often used as an excuse to attack every person who has a different opinion.
One of the weapons used is (claiming someone is being) Passive Aggressive. But what does that actually mean? That I'm a baboon?
3D Printing + Air Quality + Carbonmax + Filtermax
The smelly smell of smell...
Go watch this if you're into 3D Printing (and never considered the dangers): 3D printers are worse than I thought by Made With Layers. That's a good video on air pollution, possible dangerous particles, and gasses, when 3D Printing... (And he has a Fornuftig as well.)
Particles, PLA, PETG, VOC, HEPA, air quality and pollution, non-acid washed Activated Carbon... Things might be more complex than I once thought, and my 3D Printer might not be that harmless... Perhaps.
On an inspired side note:
I took the original Carbonmax and created my own (improved?) FilterMax.
Can AI save us from aliens, or can aliens save us from AI?
(One day someone is going to make a remake of 'V' that actually becomes a smash hit...)
