I'm not printing ABS yet. Just bought and am taking proper measures to make it safe to use
Good idea. I have my 3D printer inside an enclosure (Ender 5 with the medium size tent) and attached a ventilation hose to the top of the enclosure using a plywood board.
That hose feeds into my apartments central ventilation unit so all fumes get blown outside. Alternatively you can buy a fan and hang the hose out the windows.
Microplastic is nasty.
