Actually, I think you're mistaking ABS resin for TPU. ABS cannot be ran in the A1 and it's toxic so it needs the enclosure and exhausted. ABS is awesome but I think it's a bit much for the home printer to get into on the hobbyist level. TPU is no more dangerous than PLA or PETG and can be used in the A1.


Yeah I think Zen has TPU and ABS mixed up. It happens to me all the time lol. The scented filament is the only one I close up the window and let it smell up the joint. It smells so good when it's printing! So good in fact IDC if it's toxic!

This is his toy. I get to use it but he does all the maintenance and changes. So I’ve never looked past Makerworld for what’s doable.

Until a few minutes ago I didn’t know one way or the other if it could use TPU or if it was toxic, I just took my sons word for it. I was more interested in if the A1 could use TPU as he was told it couldn’t but I suspected it could. That’s why I asked when you noted you used it as I know you have/had more than one printer and you might use TPU on another not the A1.

But now that I’ve looked into it it seems he’s right. It is toxic because of the temperatures used. Not as bad as ABS but up there.

To print other game pieces and figures he wants a resin printer. But that one’s nasty and needs an enclosed and venting iirc. Maybe in the garage but not in the house.

Dude if' you're scared of TPU by all means don't use it.
What you need in ventilation is the same as other filaments. If you're unsure or scared, use an air quality meter near your printer to know exactly what's going on for all filaments when your printer is running.
You can have the same type of filament but one be much more toxic than the other. This is part of why I don't buy generic filaments and use authentic Bambu lab. You can often smell the difference before it even warms up.
The room where my printer is located was chosen for it's ventilation so my printer literally exhausts to the outdoors and operates in semi open fresh air. When I run scented I want to close it up because it smells so good but I don't.
It's not just for TPU but all filaments are toxic to an extent. If you sit there and huff the thing while it prints I'm sure it will be a problem but common sense like not using the printer where people are hanging out is the best idea no matter what filament you have loaded in the printer. If your printer isn't already in a ventilated space it should be.
Some people set up a printer like a grow tent and run the exhaust to a window if they have to use the printer where they sleep and live.
 
Great work man!
I have fond memories of a White Lotus from Bodhi a long time ago. I think it was the strain that got him on the radar of everybody.

I just want a few degrees drop so I can go out and make hash and rosin. Too hot out there and the ice will melt too fast and just be miserable. If it could just get below 90 I'd be fine.

They still need to give me another 63 for a merch purchase this month. Got those sweet Hey Dude NASCAR shoes so I gotta send them a screenshot of the purchase since it wasn't automatic this month. Those shoes are comfy AF too!

I set fantasy every Tuesday right after I do the trivia so I don't forget it.
I didn't get credit for two trivias but that's only 26 points. The Chase game more than makes up for that but now if I don't see the points after 15 minutes after doing trivia I get a screenshot just in case I need to claim those points.
You'll get the 125 for your Bday too so that's coming.
I'm not sure about the fast frames but I'm happy I've guessed right and got 20 each time! I missed that second week but got 20 every other time from that. That's the one I know will get me over 15K when it comes close at the end.
I can taste that garage now. I hear it's for Saturday and Sunday and Staurday is actually the best day because everybody is in there and the drivers have more time to interact.

IDK anything about the tech in the cars man. I get a little of that info but TBH it's at the end of the day when I'm winding down and tired AF, scrolling with a glaze over my eyes. I have over 40 episodes of Harvick's show I still haven't watched. Still need to watch Rising too. I have racing homework I'm so overdue on lol.
Finally get a break here this weekend to catch up on everything. Just getting pulled in 4 different directions and seems like shitty things are coming out of the woodwork almost daily these past few weeks. I fix one and another pops up.

I wonder who will become the Hocevar rivalry of the week this week? I'm betting it's Preece.
The Larson and Hamlin thing is coming back into focus finally here at the end.
I feel like Briscoe is fading and anybody not inside the top 5 right now is pretty much out of it. Good season though so hope he can finish strong

All my seeds are up and planted!
I had terrible germ rates on Trance Plant and SSDD. I thought it might be me but other breeder gear came up strong so IDK...maybe those seeds are old or something.
The cream rises to the top and here, twice now in this compete for my business test, Anthos gear has shined. So I think it's time I start giving them more and more attention and moved them to the front of the line.

are you on any time limit with you extractions at all? or are you all froze up and on your own schedule whenever the weather co-ops?

man i forgot all about that bday points bonus already!! i just had to look in Bob Bobby's profile and see when his bday was!! hahaha i put my legit date in there.. turns out i have my legit phone number and address in the too!!! haha go bob bobby!! hahaha i'm so far off grid on the internet it really doesn't matter.. search my real name or nickname and i don't think you'll find very much..

i was really wondering the exact same thing about the hurricane!! who's the next victim?!?! nobody even mentions the 6 anymore!! that was headlines for two weeks straight and now Kes is out and Blaney is in!!!!
i missed that whole Gibbs thing with the water bottle that he got spanked for. a water bottle bottle really?!?!? c'mon pussies! i'm kinda shocked the way Gibbs has handled himself. i really thought he was gonna be different. i think him being around Briscoe and Bell has helped him be a better man.


Anthos seems to have a nice selection at great lakes... i like how every pack is the same price, no shenanigans!!!
did you buy from there or did you go direct to Anthos? they're east coast yankee near me correct? vermont or something??

I've been meaning to build an enclosure around my printer. i really wanted to just buy one but the ones for my model are way bigger than i can put there and would have to move the printer. still thinking about, i have another room it would work good in but then i would have to make room for the spool shelf as well.. i wouldn't want them separate.. so for the sake of not moving the rack and shelf i went and bought sheet plastic to make an enclosure. still sits new in the box!! i'll most likely cut it with my bandsaw.. i have a brand new blade for it so it should cut perfect, thats still new in the box yet too!! hahaha

but i would really like to get that done before the new year. january hits and it's so cold in that room and the printer has to work so much harder. thats something i'm sure you never ever have to deal with!! hahaha


that 34 car is the best lookin one out there this weekend!!! i kinda dig the 6 and the 7 wraps this week as well...
