    Uneven airflow results in bad prints. Better to set up a ventilator hood that exhausts outside.

      Perhaps, but have you actually tested this for yourself?

      PLA is extruded at 220C in my Prusa beastie. Once the filament is slapped on the model, I probably want it to to fuse to the previous layer really well and then cool really fast and become stable.

      We need to provide working and results rather than “I think that”. My printer is quite close to a very large double doors to outside, which open and shut as required.

        I have a cheapo 3d printer and have ran into this numerous enough times enough that I built a plexiglass enclosure.
