Yeah, you’re not the only one to notice it. I think @Ante_Vukorepa first raised the [issue here](http://forum.formlabs.com/t/poisedwhale-reporting-for-duty/24886/4), and theorized it’s due to the fan ejecting volatiles. Personally I find it smellier, but not as bad as I expected from having read the complaints in advance. I put my machine in a small closet, which helps a bit.
