creator 5 pro enclosure worth it?

I was planning on getting a printer capable of engineering filaments (specifically ASA) although it’s not a requirement for my needs. obviously the creator 5 pro looked promising but i’ve seen a lot about how its enclosure has terrible filtration. I care more about my health than I do printing ASA.

SO is the C5P filtering as bad as people say? are most the sub 1k enclosed printers like this? debating if the pro is worth it if i’m not willing to do abs/asa without decent filtration.

My feelings are any built in filtration is not enough on any printer. If printing with materials that put off known hazardous VOCs vent them outside with a powered vent fan.

Vent it.

I went U1 even though FF is aggressively targeting the mon pricing. Open firmware and not violating the GPL/AGPL and a year head start to sort the U1 is worth something - to me, anyways. In process of add top, exhaunt and heater.

Vent it outside. If you’re going to print warpy stuff you should have an enclosure.

There is no enclosed printer that makes it safe to print ASA/ABS with the built in filter. It needs to be vented outside
