Hi everyone I am facing 3D printing ban from my landlord due to smell compliant and am looking to compromise with a solution. I am looking for good fume extractor that capture 99% fume while keeping the room air quality good. I found this product VEVOR fume extractor https://www.vevor.com.au/plasma-cut...ctor-150w-with-3-stage-filters-p_010711828337.

I don't want to pull all warm air out of the printer if the larger hose with custom adaptor attached at the back of 2.4 350 and I am thinking of two 8mm ID tube and attach them near the fume source (nozzle). I am looking for second or third opinion on what product I should look into and buy.
 
Do you have window access? I personally have my printers in a "grow tent" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DXYM98K?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 with a vent fan https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0796NH8YB?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4 exhausting out a nearby window. I have crank out windows with fixed screens so I hot glued a plastic sheet with a 4" hole in it to my screen (easily removed if needed) and printed an adaptor for the hose to connect to the plastic sheet and exhaust through the hole.

You could also just get a "tent" just barely bigger than the printer and do the same thing instead of making a print room like I did. This way the print room is warmed from the printers and is pulling in warm air from the outside room as well but exhausts all the fumes outside. With my 350mm V2.4 printing with the door shut, the printer room (tent) is 10 degrees F warmer than the rest of the house and there's no odor.
