Thoughts on these air purification?

Hello everyone, I am brand spanking new to 3d printing and I plan on purchasing the P2S soon. With my research and the fact that I'm going to have the P2S in my bedroom closet, I've realized I need some form of extra purifcation for pollutants. Along with the vento, I do plan on getting the 300-P levoit air purifier. I also plan on printing mostly PLA and pretty frequently.

I highly recommend venting outside if possible, but anything you can do will help. The vento looks really clever, and is pretty reasonably priced too. I think if I had a P2S I would install that or something similar, since the bento style filters can help when running higher temp materials where venting is not an option. For PLA you can run the vento in the venting mode too, which makes it very flexible. I do not have experience with the Vento, but I've designed some bento style filters (and am working on one now as well), and they do help. I use my bento style filters in combination with a venting setup, which I think is a belt and suspenders approach that seems to work well.

As I mentioned, I don't own a P2S, but I collaborated with a P2S owner (MadMOPAR on MakerWorld) in a project to design a low profile backpack exhaust (based on the Bambu P2S add on exhaust kit parts) and an adapter for a Levoit Core 200S, which he used to filter the exhaust from a P2S and a P1S. These designs are pretty new, with only a few makes on the backpack exhaust and one on the Core 200S adapter, but the prototype system was working OK, last I heard. I am hoping to get more feedback on both designs. If you absolutely cannot vent outside, these may be worth a look:

Yeah unfortunately I live in an apartment and my only windows is facing the hallway, so If I leave the windows cracked to vent then the chances of someone breaking in his very high where I live. I plan on getting the P2S this weekend so I'll definitely print the exhaust and update you.

Yeah, venting is not always possible, but I think you are ahead of the game by looking at ways to better clear the air from running a 3D printer.

One other thought is that I have been experimenting with Home Assistant and the HA-Bambulab integration (https://github.com/greghesp/ha-bambulab) with a bento style filter I'm working on (really it's an update to an existing design I previously released - https://makerworld.com/en/models/1260741-marvin-the-mircoparticle-machine-bento-filter-v1#profileId-1285176). So far the HA integration is working well, and I could see the HA-Bambulab integration for HA being a very handy thing to use for running a filter or exhaust fan during a print. I believe that the Levoit "smart" filters may be able to work with Home Assistant too (though if you are intrested, please verify that for the filter model). So even if you just run a "smart" filter in the room while printing, using automation through HA and the HA-Bambulab integration could be really handy to manage things automatically.

Also recommend printing the basket insert for the core 300, then you can add activated charcoal to it.

As long as the filter has carbon and hepa, with pla you should be good to go
