Re: Filter ABS fumes

I put a vent in my acrylic case - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34754

I use it to blow hot air in, but you can put an 80mm fan on it to blow air the other way.  Either way, some kind of acrylic case will be your best bet.   A bunch of people have done this kind of thing with Makerbots , if you search the Makerbot Google Group for filter or fume, I'm sure you'll come up with some stuff.  Thingiverse too.
