Good ventilation is key. Afterwards, if you're still getting a strong odor find a comfortable respirator (ones with expiratory valves will be best for comfort). The apparatus itself doesn't matter much. As long as it gets a good seal on your face. That usually means you'll have to go without facial hair if you have any, otherwise it could cause leaks. It's the cartridges that will be doing the work. I'd recommend a 3M P100 filter of some sort for best quality. 3M being the brand, P100 being the percentage of air that is filtered. If you have facial hair and want to keep it, a PAPR apparatus would be best. Source: EMT, we're trained and fitted every year for N95s, respirators and PAPR.
Edit: as others have said you're probably better off just not being in the room while the printer is running. Getting respirators and filters can get pretty pricey
