I hook up an old desk top tower case fan to a 3s battery and use that to pull solder fumes out from under my nose.
I have only used ABS for a small number of projects, and mostly when light weight was a goal. I may have to grab a spool of the new LW-PLA to work on some of those. For high heat, I have been using PETG since it is easier to work with than ABS.

That "easier to work with" is a big bonus for PETG over ABS. And if I remember correctly, PETG has a food grade quality, so you can print it and use it for say, kitchen utensils.
So I should print a bunch of water bottles for my bike then.... LOL. The only problem is FDM leaves all sorts of cracks and crevices where bacteria can breed.....That "easier to work with" is a big bonus for PETG over ABS.

All I've done over all these years has been to maintain the position and the firm belief that I'm made of steel and everything'll be fine. (And worked in a ventilated room if I'm concerned about fumes.) The strategy has worked perfectly so far.
My uncle said asbestos never hurt anybody until they connected it with cancer.
I've never in my life had a bike helmet on my head, and I can prove that's been the smartest choice for me:
1. I've fallen many times, often bumping my head on the pavement, without incurring brain damage.
2. Everybody knows you look dumb if you wear a helmet.
3. Then obviously I would have fallen off my bike and bumped my head and walked away fine... while looking dumb doing it.
Logic!
If you don't agree, that's fine. Go use your hand sanitizer. But be sure to use your respirator when you do. The fumes off that stuff will kill you as fast as anything else will.

Everything is fine, until it's not... But yeah, do whatever you're comfortable with. I have a relative who was in a bad bike crash that heavily damaged his helmet. If he hadn't been wearing it that would have been his brain and he wouldn't be here anymore. Admittedly I don't wear a helmet every time I bike though, mainly due to convience. I don't really care if I look "dumb" or not - people think that no matter what I do...

Now I'll go play with my asbestos some more.
