The climate control in 3D printing (and Mission Control) are terrible.
Mission control is worse.

It is much better in One, but it will be more expensive.
One might hope that if we restricted vents in storage, office, library,
42, arcade, fiber arts
and left the door open by the thermostat that it might minimize the cost.

Although Foundry is big enough for 1 person to demo to 2 observers in
there...
it is really only practical for one person to WORK in there at a time.
3D printing is a big draw, and it would be nice to have more space for it.
I would like to see a CAD desk in 3D printing too.
A fairly power machine, with a GPU, not directly connected to printers.
Room for 2-3 people to sit at a desk and work comfortably.
3D printing should be in a room that could be vented.
e.g.  Something with an external wall or in a place where we might be
able to vent into the attic.

It seems clear to me that 3D printing will need to move at some point.
We just need to think about where to, and when.

PFUDoR is not out of the question.
If we could hook up the vents.
For around $300 I think we could get a cooler/heat-pump
that does heat exchange to the attic.

In fact, no matter where 3D printing goes, a room cooler/heater
with exchange to the attic or outside seems like a practical
thing to do.

oh poo.  It looks like if you add heat, price goes up:

Either way, I believe that adding a room Heat/cool unit to 3D printing
would pay
for itself in about 6 months.  a year at most.
