Use a straight up gas mask, lab goggles, and nitrile gloves with mine at a minimum. It's nasty stuff



When deciding whether to buy a resin printer, I found posts from teenagers, students etc who'd set up resin printers in bedrooms etc. "Oh, the fumes are no problem, I buy low-odour resin."

Great, we'll see what happens when they spill some on the carpet.

I'm sticking with FDM, and I take some measures to increase ventilation when I'm using that.


Resin printing is neat, but it's strictly in the "do you have a garage?" category for me. I do not have a garage, so I do not have a resin printer.


meh, just crack a window. if it's good enough to fool mom&dad that you're smoking in the room, it's gotta be good enough for expelling noxious gases like this too, right? /s

or the people that spray fragrance to cover up smells as if that's actually removing the issue rather than just covering it up. lighting a match wouldn't be a strong suggestion either ;-)


I love those spray air fresheners. Aren't they just an agent that numbs your smell receptors so they stop working and therefore the smell goes away? If so, I KNOW a software engineer was behind that product.


no, i think you may be thinking of Axe body spray. i think they numb more than nasal receptors though


I basically channeled my days working in pathogen labs - "hot" surfaces where resin ends up, respirator, goggles and gloves, etc.
