Here’s a part of a cabinet in my wardrobe where my printer lives. It’s a bit noisy with all those hard surfaces so I am just about to put up some foam padding on all 5 sides.
Is that stupidly dangerous?
You can see I have a smoke alarm there, but it won’t stop a fire on its own.
Edit: the cabinet has no door, it’s always open like in the photo, but the wardrobe door is generally closed. The room has some ventilation so smells do go away.

Use flame retardent foam, not just styrofoam.
lmao at removedent foam, the regex is broken haha
Just put an automatic fire extinguisher in there to be safe. These are common in apartments without sprinkler systems.
It gets worse and worse :)
Yes, using a high-power electrical device inside your wardrobe is a very efficient fire hazard. It not only makes it easy to start a fire, but it also provides plenty of fuel to jumpstart over the iffy small-fire stage where it still has a chance to not consume your entire home.
Also, sending those smells somewhere they won’t harm anybody is a significant concern when you decide where to place a 3d printer.
PLA isn’t harmful, just smells a bit…
It’s a Prusa Mini, so probably not. Quality parts and thermal runaway protection and all that…
I saw someone else also suggest it, you could do an automatic fire extinguisher.
This one dispenses after 3-5 seconds of direct flame contact, others will be different.
