I used mine almost exclusively for repairing things that are either impossible to get (parts for an old blender, or window blinds that are otherwise in fine condition.

I also use it to print templates for fabrication, which saves the production of steel since I’m often able to make something once instead of throwing away much more energy intensive prototypes in the design process.

That said, my printer lives in a shop workspace, and has an enclosure, though not a filtered one (yet).
