That's for uncured resin, which you shouldn't touch anyway. I think protocol calls for using gloves when handling this stuff.
Do you happen to know if that fertility issue is only for clear resin, or all resins they offer?
Frankly somewhat surprised to learn this. I think I've seen them push clear resin for microfluidic applications where you would have biological samples, which would indicate low or no toxicity.

- pen2l 6y agoI agree with you it's not for the "average joe". I.e. yes you need to be really careful not to touch the uncured resin, cleaning up is a bitch, and you need really good ventilation when you're developing with isopropyl alcohol. But for folks who do manage to somehow get a room dedicated to this craft, of a hobbyist hackerspace with a dedicated spaced, it's probably fine. And, I think arriving to the point of being able to make a good print (modeling, slicing, etc.) is a good enough filter -- folks who can do that will and should understand you need to wear gloves when operating this thing. And I do believe if you get a printer it comes with a few gloves so that is made pretty clear.
- imtringued 6y agoThe resin itself isn't a huge problem. It's that it will enter and cure inside your body. This causes an allergic reaction that will grow stronger over time until it becomes unbearable.
