The 3d printer fumes really get to me. So I designed and printed a ventilation box with an integrated fan. In this video I go over the desin, show what went wrong, and print it and install it in the wall.

All printer files are here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:418...

About the files:
The prints I did here I accidentally exported on Medium quility instead of High quality. So that's why the circles and curves are a little rough. The files on Thingiverse were re-exported for better quality.
Also I designed this with .5 mm clearance everywhere. This was an overkill. .25 would have been good enough. I tweaked some of this before posting on Thingiverse.
I also added screw holes to the outer corners of the baseplate as an option to use those.
Also note that while I didn't show it in the video I did use anchors in the drywall.

Finally - Newer versions of the Transform printer have 3 fans blowing in and only one blowing out. So in that case you would only need to print one of the adapters and you'd probably want to cap the extra intake on the vent. Or use it for a 2nd printer.

Some of my normal supplies:

Food trays that I put in front of my printer to catch parts on. These are ridgid and therefore a little better at holding liquid and spills than the ones in my resin handling video: https://amzn.to/3lo3bQK
