Really enjoying my 3D printer. Currently printing Milwaukee M12 battery holders for the lads to complement their M18 battery holders and silicon tube stoppers.

Question: Are the fumes toxic? I have it in my office (with the window open) but I'm pretty sure I'm starting to see sounds and hear colours.

Pla and petg are fine enough to breath in in moderation, however abs and most of the others get pretty gnarly, but you need a closed chamber printer for most of those. So pla with windows open should be fine and dandy, if window closed a decent HEPA filter should suffice from my reading.
