Reply To: Resin printing safety

Yes, “better safe than sorry” is what my thinking is too. I don’t want to become an alarmist, but on the other hand there are some extra safety steps I could take with fairly small effort.

I currently print in my garage/workshop, which is separate from the house and a fairly large space. There is active ventilation which I also run on a higher setting while printing. While it’s not our living quarters, I do spend a fair bit of time there with painting and hobby projects.

I would have space to add an enclosure (I see people are using grow tents) and run ducting to the built-in ventilation. That should pretty much do away with the fumes. It could also help with temperature control and minimise sunlight impacting the UV resin.
