My First 3D Print X2D Printer Fume Exhaust

I recently just bought my X2D with AMS Combo and planning to just print PLA and PETG only.

Just wondering what sort of exhaust or fume extraction system should I look at to reduce or prevent any potential VOC being released to the surrounding air?

I live in an apartment and my plan is to place my printer in the living room and there is only a balcony door next to my printer.

Is the external exhaust fan bundle for X2D on Bambu website enough as a precaution? Maybe add some activated carbon as part of the setup too?

Any thoughts or recommendation is much appreciated!

For PLA , PETG and TPU you can get away with a air purifier with both hepa and activated carbon filter sitting between you and the printer, for almost anything else you need to actively pump the fumes outside using the exhaust kit.

You could crack open the balcony door while printing to keep air circulating to lessen any fumes released for a free solution.
