No! Definitely well ventilated area, ideally outdoors. The instructions specifically say not to do it indoors!

You're right that the temperatures are similar to or lower than 3D printing, but really 3D printing probably shouldn't be done indoors either - or at least not in an enclosed space without exhaust ducting.

Filament extrusion is cooler than 3D printing, so less fumes. Like 3D printing, the process is a bit temperature sensitive, and certainly humidity sensitive, so inside would be better. Or at least store your filament in a sealed container with desiccant in it, so it doesn't get full of water.

I'm looking to get a Filastruder sometime in the future, and I had a couple quick questions.

The first one is towards the people who already own one. How's the smell while it's extruding? I have my 3D Printer in a room in my house, and was hoping to put the Filastruder in this same room. However, I'm concerned about the smell produced while extruding the filament.

The second question is in case I can't put it in my house. I do have a shop outside that is unairconditioned. Weather in my area can range from 30F to 110F or more, with at times 100% humidity. My concern is what the weather conditions will do to the filament during extrusion.

Thanks for the help.
