This is the issue with hobbyist use. Of course there are protocols to handle it safely, but such things make it inappropriate for the average joe.
- 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.
