Vivosun tents are one of the worst and they’re expensive.
I’m not hating or anything just happened to learn the hard way.
They do have a great product though. Unique tent size perfect for drying and seedling tent. No other seller has that size. Gorilla clone tents are just stupid sized.

I got one of these and have both the printer and the cure/wash station inside. You can also get a vent and fan on Amazon to connect to it and have it blow the fumes out a window. This is also good since it won't let light inside, preventing the resin from curing if it's exposed.

I would also reccomend printing a lid for whichever printer you decide to go with. That helps keep the fumes inside the vat when not in use. I can go into more detail or send some pictures with my setup if interested.
I have mine in the crawl space under my house. I duct taped an air filter on the inlet hole of the grow tent to eliminate dust and have the exhaust coming out the top. It works great and I never have to worry about it.
Here’s the grow tent I bought:

You can find others for cheaper (mine was on sale at the time I bought it).
i think mine is actually a size bigger, like 2’x4’ so still small and its perfect imo 4 tubs fit across and stack up high, though im planning to get shelving soon so the stacking and restacking isnt an issue but it’s not too big a deal, 10/10 recommend
Ty!!
Here is what I got

This should fit - if you have another 2” in vertical you could even stack them :)
I actually had to buy a mini dry tent here I also added another 4” carbon filter and ac infinity fan. I had a 6” clip fan blowing at the floor for air movement

This is what I got. It’s the most compact one I saw on Amazon that didn’t look like shit quality. I’m planning to transplant my seedling into a 3 gallon and currently using a 75w + 65w Grow lamp during seedling stage. I’m transplanting tomorrow as soon as my 300w light is delivered, I ordered a 1000w parfactworks light but it was wayyy too hot reaching 95 degrees and lowered my humidity 20% less than normal. This seems to be the best bang for buck and I’ve been at this for 2 months trying to figure out the most efficient/minimalist setup possible.
Yep. Good point. There's no good way to mount a 4" inline and 4" filter inside a 2x2x4' tent. The wiki/sidebar is a problem.
But, since you bought the parts, best option is probably to tie/ziptie the filter to the inside/top of the tent. Run 4" ducting from the filter, to the inline which will have to be outside of the tent (so much for "secret"). Then 4" ducting from the outflow of the fan to wherever you are exhausting air. You'll need a fan speed controller, and/or a programmable thermostat, otherwise you are whipping air through the tent 24x7.
Wherever you do mount the fan, be sure to have it hanging. Not solidly bolted to something. They do better freely swinging bit. Even if that just means by chain or ziptie.
Your best option, if it's still an option, is to buy different gear. A better sized tent, at minimum, so you can actually fit your ventilation inside.
A grow tent works very well and fits both my mono x 6K and the wash and cure plus. This is the one I got along with the air filter, fan and ducting. VIVOSUN 30"x18"x36" Grow Tent,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079DM1WCW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

We cut the ducting in half, basically used to duct tape to attach the fan at the middle and put one end of the ducting through the one of the vent holes in the tent and the other end goes out the window. Just make sure the inline fan is blowing the correct direction and keep one of the other vent holes of the tent slightly open so the tent doesn't start collapsing from the suction of the fan. No smell at all, we've been very happy with the setup. Another last small tip, we got a pack of plastic lunch trays from Amazon and that's where we do our cleanup/support snipping/etc. Helps keep the mess together and if the trays get some resin on them, doesn't matter cause that's what they're for. Hope this helps!
Yes! I edited it in afterwords, I apologize!
Here it is again:
Deceptively easy to put together. The tent includes crossbars, just ziptie the fan to them, affix the ducting to the fan (using one of the metal collars provided), and run it out one of the ports of the enclosure. Affix the ducting to the connector port (again, metal collar), then the port to the window plates. I just duct taped the port to the window plate, but I'm sure super gluing it would work great too. The whole thing is pretty flexible, so I just rest the tubing/window plates ontop of my enclosure when not in use. I don't think I used any tools, only needed zip ties and duct tape.
Remember that we're using negative pressure and aerodynamics to do most of the heavy lifting here so the whole system does not have to be perfect. The tent is pretty "leaky", as well as having multiple exhaust ports that can not be completely sealed, but this is fine. To test the concept, you can flip the system on (the duct doesn't need to go out the window yet, just outside the enclosure) and observe the canvas on the enclosure. If the walls suck inwards and become taut that means that the pressure inside is lower than outside and air can only flow inwards (and subsequently out the fan) and you're safely controlling the (potential) fumes. At that point just put it out the window and you're golden!
Dude I got you reverse thinking.
Move it in to a grow tent. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079DM1WCW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_BF5KV6SF6S5W72QWT002?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
And use this control to push the hot air out the window way cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZV591B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_dl_GXM8YPGTW6BWTJHAS5DG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
