I had an issue with cheap filament stinking out my print room and had worries about the impact of particulates on my future health so I made a modification of my existing enclosure (linked here → Prusa Enclosure V2 - MMU2S by Ondřej Stříteský

You will need a 120mm PC fan (and a controller if needed)

100mm vent tubing (it doesn't matter what you use)

 I would recommend putting a vent cap on the end of the tube to prevent ingress of life into your printer if it's just going to hang out a window (no one likes a squirrel messing up your print).

Once all 3 bits are printed swap out the enclosure part, screw a fan into the intake and then screw the exhaust onto that, then put the 100mm vent duct onto the exhaust and wire up the fan, the 10*13mm hole is so the fan cable can be run inside the enclosure for a controller to deal with.  slide the intake into the enclosure and you are mint.

 

If requested, I will provide caps for the fan cable hole and vent hole so your enclosure can also be run sealed up.

 

with my Noctua fan (p12) on a low speed and at 20 deg C ambient the enclosure can still reach 35C constantly and I don't have nasty smells anymore.
