Here's a part of a cabinet in my wardrobe where my printer lives. It's a bit noisy with all those hard surfaces so I am just about to put up some foam padding on all 5 sides.
Is that stupidly dangerous?
You can see I have a smoke alarm there, but it won't stop a fire on its own.
Edit: the cabinet has no door, it's always open like in the photo, but the wardrobe door is generally closed. The room has some ventilation so smells do go away.
It gets worse and worse :)
Yes, using a high-power electrical device inside your wardrobe is a very efficient fire hazard. It not only makes it easy to start a fire, but it also provides plenty of fuel to jumpstart over the iffy small-fire stage where it still has a chance to not consume your entire home.
Also, sending those smells somewhere they won't harm anybody is a significant concern when you decide where to place a 3d printer.
PLA isn't harmful, just smells a bit...
