Reply To: Resin printing safety

Well if it is “risky” then it can’t be safe, can it? I do understand that prints can take a very long time and there is almost nobody in the world with enough spare time to watch filament harden but the initial question was: Are they safe. And they are not. They will not explode the second you look the other way but (especially filament printers) carry the risk of fire.

Is it “safe” to drive a car without seatbelts? No. It’s risky. That doesn’t mean you’ll die on the way to work but the potential is higher than if you would buckle up.

Again: the question wasn’t about the likeliness of a failure/accident but the possibility. And since pagan8th inquired about FMD specifically I stand with my opinion: it’s not safe. How anybody weights that risk is a personal matter.
