how good is it at keeping the smell in, because I am considering something similiar in an apartment, but i am living together with somebody really smell senitive.
I have a similar setup and it is great for the smell. It still gets out occasionally as expected, mainly when draining/filling the resin itself, but goes away once the door is closed and the fan pulls everything out of the window. A more powerful fan would probably mitigate a lot of that as well when the door is opened but doesn't need to be very strong once it's closed
Very nice! mine is similar, went with a taller version that goes to the floor so I could have a cabinet and drawer to store all the supplies relating to it, and have the top vented out to a window just like yours is.
I want to finish my double decker enclosure with some ducting, but I also wonder if I will miss the nail salon smell of some of my resins. What are you using to push the air? Are those two 120MM powered off your rig?
I have almost the same because my husband is super smell sensitive too. But I still have the cover on the machine..BUT the best thing I did was start using anycubic plant based resin.. I think ii is much less stinky.
Good setup mate, well done
Great setup, might copy this! You don't use the yellow plastic lid for the printer while it is in there?

It's more or less completely gone! I used a piece of plywood that I wedged between the window to keep the AC in.
Buy 2mm foam rubber sheets and cut yourself a seal around the door. That is what I did. No smell, no anything

Great setup. Needs a lamp inside the enclosure and some hangers for your tools. Love it.
What did you put in the window that the vent is hooked up to? And how do you keep it sealed with a side sliding window?
Looks like cardboard sandwiched in the window. I used the foam insert from my printer to create a barrier for my sliding window in my last apartment.
3mm plywood with a cutout for the exhaust.
My setup
Did you purchase the box or make it? This is fantastic. I would make the same and add a window on the door for myself
Bought it from IKEA. It's called the BESTA.
I wish I had this kind of window
which besta did you use?
Used the BESTÅ Frame, white, 60x20x64 cm with the matching front door. Was roughly $55 for the set.

This is brilliant! Is the fan on the side for air intake?
Yep. Similar to how pc fans work lol
Literally just bought one like that as I can't stand the smell everywhere and the builders couldn't put a big one on our wall.

Honestly I just have my printer in the kitchen under the table. Nobody has complained about smells.
Looks great! How did you secure the ventilation hose to the top of the cabinet?

Seems like a good project to do. Thinking of a wooden box with a glass door and some sort of lights inside like a short led lights.
You think you can fit the wash and cure plus in there too or only room for the printer?
100% can fit the wash and cure too. That's the next purchase.
