    Does this mean that 3D printing causes cancer? No, not by a long shot. But, it’s clear that under lab conditions, exposure to either PLA or ABS particulates seems to be related to some of the cell changes associated with carcinogenesis.

    Printing using PLA in the basement, with a filter, not being in the room until the print is actually done. I feel pretty safe.
