Advanced Filtration System - chamber temp issues?

I want to start printing some nylon filament, and don't have any ventilation option other than a exhaust fan in the head a few feet from where the printer sits. So I had my name on the backorder list at printed solid which came up as available today. I ordered it, but printed solid takes a couple of days to process so I can always cancel if there is a better solution.

I've read its effective enough at filtration, but introduces some chamber temp control issues. I never, ever print PLA, so that will not be an issue for me, but I do print a lot of PETG and PCTG. Will I have any trouble with that and the AFS kit? 

Are there any other just as, or more effective solutions I should be looking at?

RE: Advanced Filtration System - chamber temp issues?

I have the AFS on my printers (2 core one). I print mostly PLA with some PETG. I've never had any issues with chamber temps, even during summertime. I think it works quite well and cuts the smell down to near zero. I'm happy with my purchase.

Thanks. Chamber temps are more important for high temp filaments like polycarbonate or nylon (and others). But good to hear your PETG experience is positive.

If you want to print nylon then make sure you have a decent filament dryer, one that can reach at least 80°.
