Anyone have any experience with this?
Strongly considering adding a xTool F2 Ultra UV to the hobby, but it’s quite costly and I’m unsure if I’d use it enough to justify it.
Any other laser experience also appreciated

You can absolutely kill your self engraving the wrong material.
Look at the xtool m2, it comes with a air filtration system and also can print onto engravings
Good advice.
I have a full exhaust setup that sucks everything outside, but it’s good to be extra cautious with these things
Even with an exhaust setup, pvc creates chlorine gas which only takes a little breathing in to kill you. Filter plus exhaust
Duly noted.
I’ll stick with PLA/PETG only if I get a laser.
Much obliged!
No worries! Laser engraving is fun, but it doesn’t burn through stuff so much as vaporizes it, most home hobbyist level companies don’t do a good job of warning you of the dangers. PVC = Chlorine Gas and ABS = Cyanide gas are good rules of thumb
