Like casting, take care. This was started by the EU, if you've seen vids of PC shops there you will understand. Basically refers to the fumes when cooking.

The airborne powder is a very real and present danger, not a myth. Good news is that a good particle mask and not sweeping or kicking up the powder if you spill some is really the only precaution needed. Don't huff the cooking fumes either, like Popper mentioned.

One reason I prefer shakenbake/pick/place method is the absolute minimum of equipment contamination. Powder is in the container, on a plastic spoon, the tips of my modleneese pliers, and a hint gets on the foil-covered baking plate. That's it.

Not sticking my nose in (ha).... but just a general note. It doesn't take a gail force wind speed to keep a clear work station. Shoot for 1-2 mph. The main concern is predictability in direction.

I'll never be able to afford a real version,but love drooling over them and swiping design/engineering from them....... look up Filter 1,Benchtron,back draft tables.

No,we casters don't need this $$$ equipment. But with a little ingenuity, and a little 28g sheet metal.....

Good luck with your project.

Agree with Ian, never meant to belittle hazard, look at the window in your oven after a few bakes. You don't want that in your lungs, nor do you want any 'dust' there either. The vid I saw was a guy ESPC over a 4'x4' box, holding a part in his hand, no mask and powder going everywhere. Be cautious with any PC and the TGIC isn't a problem.
