This popped up in my feed the other day. Never actually used it myself, but whether it's scare mongering or otherwise I don't think I will now. Just looking at the fibres in his skin gives me the willies.

Not surprising, people say to use mask and gloves etc when working with carbon fiber probably applies here as well if not more as it’s full of very small fibers.
Hope he does more on other filaments like:
- wood filaments
- silk filaments (looking at their spec sheets they add a lot of funky stuff to these for the shine..)
- regular PLA, although it is mainly made of PLA they can add fillers and color which potentially could be hazardous.
He brings up a good point on the smoking when printing I see this as well mainly when loading and unloading filaments you get a small puff of smoke. If you are using a Bambu AMS or prusa MMU which is loading and unloading through the same nozzle all the time this would basically be happening every few minutes!
