The chemicals used for resin printers make this look benign.
- RugnirViking 4y agoUse a straight up gas mask, lab goggles, and nitrile gloves with mine at a minimum. It's nasty stuff
- Symbiote 4y agoWhen 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.
- jrockway 4y agoResin 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.
- dylan604 4y agomeh, 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 ;-)
- jrockway 4y agoI 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.
- dylan604 4y agono, i think you may be thinking of Axe body spray. i think they numb more than nasal receptors though
- Fomite 4y agoI basically channeled my days working in pathogen labs - "hot" surfaces where resin ends up, respirator, goggles and gloves, etc.
