So, mine is in the basement, in my general hobby room. The laundry room and my woodworking shop are also in the basement, but separated by a wall and a door...

I have an Ender 3 Pro, printing PLA filament. So far, I'm keeping the prints down to about 2 hours max. The one overnight print I've tried so far failed because the filament jammed on the spool...

I didn't notice an odor. HOWEVER, I did break down and put the printer in an enclosure, to help with temperature/humidity issues and to keep any woodworking dust from getting on the printer parts. When I open the enclosure, I certainly DO notice a pretty strong odor.

I specifically put the printer in the basement so that I can run an exhaust fan if needed - I have a spray painting booth in my hobby room down there, ducted to the outside already. Looks like building a solid enclosure, with an exhaust fan, is my next step...
