Yep. I’m nearly the only employee at my job and I’m trying to decide if it makes sense to work from home. The biggest issue is that I would need to go to the gas station every few days if I keep going to work. I’m probably going to pack up the 3D printers and some other stuff and just work from home to avoid unnecessary exposure. My roommate has respiratory issues.



Don’t 3d printers produce fines? I’d double check before bringing them home in your circumstances.


Most 3d printers shouldn't produce dust or off gassing. If printing with ABS it can be smelly and an enclosure is recommended (but more for the ABS than for you). In general it's a good to always work in well ventilated areas.


I have six 3D printers at home already. But the ones at work are a bit nicer.


Just go in and use hand sanitizer + wipes at the pump. No need to make it complicated.


Hand sanitizer and wipes are completely unavailable here because of hoarding and shoplifting.


Commuting in to work means hitting gas stations which increases my chances of infection. Also there’s no wipes or sanitizer at stores I’ve checked.
