I just got a new P1S and have been loving it. Practically zero issues. My dad recently learned that 3D printer nozzles get to very high temperatures and immediatly began thinking it was a fire hazard. So he looked it up and found plenty of information on how printers are dangerous and severe fire risks, and you need to have them in a fireproof enviornment, and you need insurance, and you must not leave them unattended.
But I think printers, especially newer refined ones like mine, are statistically very safe and are not prone to these accidents that he has read about. And I'm a very safe and conciousous person when it comes to sticking to the rules. But it never even crosses my mind that my printer can ignite and set the house on fire. I consistently leave it going when I'm out and about. I'm only printing PLA. I have seen zero stories or issues related to fires from printers (apart from the A1 power cable issues which have since been resolved) and I'm a little upset that my dad is now preventing me from running it when I'm not home.
And while that isn't a huge issue (it's not like I need to print anything) it is annoying. So, what do you guys think? Am I right, or is he? Are there any reliable sources I can show him that prove that running it while away is really not a problem? If I am incorrect about what I think, then tell me. But I really do not believe that a brand new P1S is going up in a fireball.
