1 - The automotive heater will be at the top of the printer. It has a blower in it. It should for all intense and purpose blow hot air down. Furthermore the thermostat controlling the temperature will have the sensor lower therefore there will be air circulating via convection as well as fill. Otherwise I will place the blower down on the side and circulate air that way. An oven kind of deal here.
2 - The exhaust fan on top will get a trap door 3d printed for the exhaust. It should keep the door shut while the printer is going and once the print is done it should be easy for the blower to push it open. Squirlcage fans are know more for pressure than flow, this will help. Otherwise a manual shutting door at the top will do. The exhaust fan will not be running at the same time the heater runs.
With all this being said. I know I will have to overcome some challenges. I planed to have a heated chamber from day 1 and have been thinking about this for a while now, I have been looking at every possible permutation and simply put there seems to be very little knowledge put out regarding heated chamber printers, or at least there is very little I have found.
Another note about "fumes" I certainly cannot smell them. However my wife has a sensitive nose and she certainly claims to smell them, she also complained of a headache or two while this thing was running and the door to the bedroom was open. So for me a quick exhaust option is important. Happy wife, happy life. She puts up with my strange hobbies as well as an object that looks like a barrel and makes noise all night. I figure I can remedy this kind of thing a bit. She even puts up with my servers spewing heat all year.....
