Just thought I’d take a second to plug the fume extractor I designed for the Mini that fits any old 60mm 12V fan and a cheap $3 hepa filter. I love my unit too, but I still don’t trust being around ABS fumes at all times so I made this to ease my mind a little.

This looks great, do you have any photos of it on the machine?

Can you share why you prefer the Plus 2? I’m considering the Box especially for it’s built-in HEPA filter.
The filter on the BOX is superb, really impressed with it. Even the lowest quality, smelliest ABS works great.
Wow I just checked your hub - a lot of happy customers.
Could I ask if you use the Box in a well ventilated area? Unfortunately the only option I have if I’m going to get a printer at all is to have it basically in the family living room and I’m very concerned about the health risks.
I might be able to mitigate that by using mostly PLA but - does the Box handle PLA well without needing to open the enclosure? I saw you have it on your hub as a regular material.
My office isn’t well ventilated at all (unless I open a window). The Hepa filter does and amazing job.
The Box prints PLA great without opening the enclosure but I mostly only print ABS and it is fine, even better if you use the original UP ABS (the matte stuff).
Great to hear! To make sure I understand, you mean the ABS vs ABS+ right? Have you used Nylon or any other kind of non-abs/pla?
Both ABS and ABS+ are great but I found that ABS is more odourless. I only know this because I opened the door mid-print. Under normal use you won’t notice the difference.
Take the plunge, you won’t regret it!

The UP mini 2 has a HEPPA filter built in! It also has wireless connectivity so theoretically you don’t need to be near it anyway haha
