So I've recently jumped on the 3d printing train after my employer gave me an ender V3 SE for my 21st birthday. Absolutely love this thing and it's definitely been getting a workout the past few weeks lol.

My question is, how safe is it to 3d print in my bedroom? I only print with PLA at the moment and from what i've read online most people say it is fine and to just keep good air flow in your room while printing. My missus on the other hand is very sceptical and has needed a lot of reassurance that she wont spontaneously combust from the PLA fumes.

I don't really have anywhere else to put it as i live at home with younger siblings who will for sure break it. Let me know what you guys think.
