Well, since there's a small but growing body of evidence that 3D printing resin fumes are not good for you, and there's zero evidence that it's beneficial for human health... here's a nice and very quiet Spanish-made bathroom fan inside my lightly soundproofed IKEA kitchen cabinet that is my printer enclosure! Vents outdoors.
Of course I managed to install the fan 90° rotated clockwise. Oops. Still works fine.
Anyway. Keeps heat buildup under control, and expels the smells. The cabinet is resting on sound-absorbing panels - corrugated cardboard filled with fine sand basically - and lined with foam pyramids.
I can now work in my office with the printer running and, if there's music playing, I barely notice it.
Well worth it, and recommended!
