Video Description

Think PLA is totally safe to print with? I tested my workshop with air monitors and uncovered what’s really in the air—even with “safe” filaments. I’ll show you how a DIY filter fixed it, what to watch for, and how to print smarter. Grab my free safety guide, check out the monitors I used, and get everything you need to build your own filter below.
