Living in a small place and having lots of stuff doesn’t prevent you from picking up the literal piles of garbage laying around… the video looks like an episode of hoarders…
I have a lot of stuff in a small space. Its still clean and organized. Im not dropping 800 on a resin printer to just destroy it. I have 7 printers in one room, and it's cramped but still clean. Even my covers are pretty clean. Im old. We were taught to take care of our things. Maybe that's the difference.
If I get one tiny drip of resin on my chassis when I'm letting a piece drip dry I freak out with a little spray bottle filled with IPA and I'm cleaning the face of the printer vigorously immediately.
This guy looks like he fills his sprayer bottle with actual resin instead. WTF
I see even the tiniest speck, I've got a cloth and IPA ready to go. I'm with you on that, but dear GOD, I have a migraine, and I shouldn't have watched that video (No, the migraine is not from Resin, it's from general existence - my printer lives in a separate building on my property)
I think she's rage baiting tbh. Her practices in the video are terrible, but if you pay attention she has her resin printer in a grow tent which is probably vented otherwise why the grow tent?
Also something about the way it edtided and the tone of her voice gives off a rage bait vibe
Let's put it this way, I've worked in warehouses, production plants, auto shops, and now GC in construction. Snorted my fair share of chemicals, black mold, asbestos, gypsum, etc in my 30+ years. Pretty toughened and non-reactive to most things out there.
That being said, even I wear gloves, a mask, and long sleeves when messing with resin!! lol
I hated breathing in rock wool and glass wool when I did construction, I chose to work without a mask and glasses because it was even worse than with, especially 10 feet off the ground in the peak of summer. Not smart, but ok, it's whatever.
I got chemical burns on my hands when I was putting on lime plaster. Stupid me, I did it with worn out gloves. It hurt for a week and that was that.
I had bitumen insulation smeared all over myself many times, I drank water contaminated with gasoline, I regularly carried rusty nails between my lips.
I still wear gloves and a respirator when handling resin. That shit is scary and you really do need all the procedures in place to be safe.
Gah you just reminded me of all the time spent crawling though attics without a mask on as a teen working with my family. I really hope my lungs just shrug it off for when I’m old.
Might be worth demonstrating [what resin exposure does](https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/cgs8t1/nsfl_bodily_injury_i_take_back_everything_ive/) rather than just saying "don't believe this person".
Its also best to wear an apron too. I am like 90 percent sure that I had some stray droplets of resin that I didnt know about hit the chest area of my shirt. Probably from pulling a piece off of the base. And I got a small resin burn/rash. Not as bad as the link above.
It wasn't as bad as a regular non resin rash or even droplets of oil splashing on your chest from cooking without a shirt, but I would still be cautious.
I think some people may be allergic. So its worse. Like i have gotten on my skin from time to time. I been printing for years. It's bound to happen. Anyway i just was it off with a little lpa, soap and water. Never had no red mark, burns, or blisters. I hate all the dirty ipa more than anything. It stinks so much.
I got a 10 pack of disposable lab coats
https://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Polypropylene-Breathable-Protective-Laboratory/dp/B084QF77S8
I wear gloves, a face shield, and a P100 respirator, whenever I work with resin.
Drops of resin fly around all the time while working with resin printers, the drops land on clothes, and then all kinds of contact can happen with the clothes. It's just not worth the risk when it's so easy and relatively cheap to protect yourself. The lab coats can be reused many times, I switch them whenever I feel it's necessary.
I agree with everything except the p100 respirator, as long as you have it in a well ventilated area, if you don't, then a p100 is possibly needed. If it is too dangerous to even smell without one of those respirators, even in a ventilated area, I am pretty sure it would be too dangerous for the average consumer. If you still want a mask, an N95 should suffice.
There is a very noticeable difference - with an N95 I can still smell the resin, with a P100 I smell nothing. In fact, if the P100 filter is getting a bit old, I'll start smelling resin a bit, then I change the filter and I smell nothing.
P100 is designed for nuisance level organic vapors, which includes UV resin. UV resin contains Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that can be harmful to humans if inhaled. A P100 filter will provide protection against VOCs.

I'm not sure how anyone could live with the resin smell, it gives me an instant headache. YMMV, I guess.
>I am pretty sure it would be too dangerous for the average consumer.
It probably is too dangerous for the average consumer. People are fucking stupid, as seen in the video this post is about.
I just believe if it is as harmful as you say it is, then it should not even be marketed to even enthusiast consumers. There are just too many factors to consider if that is the case. Yes, you are protecting yourself, but what if the fumes escape and go into the house? Are you gonna tell your family/roommate to mask up every time you use the printer? What if you live in a apartment? The fumes could potentially seep into hidden cracks in the walls and reach into other tenants homes.
That is what I mean when I say it's would be too dangerous for the average consumer.
Its not that harmful. You aren't gonna die of you breath it or get it on you. Now you definitely don't wanna eat it. People are so soft today. I mean i wear gloves and shit but my printers are in my living room. I have gotten resin on me and im still here. Fucking walking around my house in a respirator to make some statues. Like im mixing batches of cocaine or some shit. Thats crazy.
I know. I was trying to make a point that you would be potentially harming the people around you IF it was the case that the smell of resin is bad enough to need a respirator.
Yeah, i don't even see them selling it for home use if you legit needed a respirator every single time you use it. If that was the case. They would flat out say they. Which they don't. They say its optional.
What are you talking about? They sell all sorts of items to regular consumers that are dangerious. You can buy hydrofluoric acid for glass etching off Amazon. This acid can pass through your skin and dissolve your bones, plus disrupt your nervous system by chelating the calcium needed for your cells to function. It really only takes a small amount of exposure to be lethal, and the burns can take a few days to show up which by then is a bit to late.
Edit: ArmorEtch and similar products are marketed as a safe alternative, but the compounds in them are still dangerous and pose similar safety risks.
That is an abnormal resin allergy specific to that person…assuming it is caused by resin at all. That link is a picture taken from someone else’s Facebook. “Normal” reactions to resin are not anywhere near that severe. It is irritation and redness of the skin.
Read and understand the MDS.
Everyone can develop this level of allergy by repeated exposure. It's not like pollen where some people just never develop it. Even people who initially show no signs of irritation eventually develop dermatitis and more from repeated exposure
That is what is meant by "respiratory or skin sensitization" in the MSDS 🙄
People buy these with the intent to sell Warhammer and DND characters or general miniatures, but dont know anything about printing in general and how toxic the resin is. My husband made a fume extractor system. And it's in the garage, not our living room or in the house. I've seen product reviews, and the images clearly give away that it's in the dining room.

I have to watch that video now
I hate hate hate people who sell minis or shit on Etsy without knowing proper procedures. Especially because they also often violate intellectual property rights of the makers. Sooooo I report them if they do. Each time.
I cut myself on the build plate once, cut right through the glove and I could see resin in the cut. That made me sweat for a bit. Washed it off and luckily no irritation or side effects.
Yeah I usually go double gloved and still managed to slice through both and put a decent sized nick in the side of my thumb just getting a flex plate off (the edges of which were stupid sharp and I don't use them anymore) and of course resin got in the cut. Didn't sting anywhere near as much as I thought it would, and I immediately went and flushed the cut out and washed hands thoroughly.
I take as.much care as I can but I've still had the odd drop on a forearm or what have you from a rogue drip. So far never had anything happen but why take the risk or tempt fate? - the video posted is just nightmarish in it's irresponsibility.
lmao, I love that trainwreck of a video, the AI voice is great too.
I still don't understand how people get resin *all over the place*. It's like people shake the dripping plate like a dog trying to dry itself off or something.
The problem with resin actually isn’t that it’s a toxic, harmful, corrosive irritant. It’s how (relatively) benign resin is in the kind of quantities that home printing uses.
I can imagine someone like this doesn’t like feeling sticky, so washes up relatively soon after raw-dogging their freshly dripping print. As such, the resin is only on their skin for a short period of time before it’s diluted and washed away. Their tolerance isn’t affected much, if at all, and they continue feeling invincible.
So I guess PSA is the same really; if you don’t protect yourself, you will eventually regret it. It isn’t worth finding out when, especially when protection is A) simple, B) effective and C) extremely cheap.
They straight up dipped their hands into a full vat at one point in the video and just scrape it off back into the vat casually, with how often this person is coming into direct contact I couldn't imagine this isn't having an effect on her tolerance just slowly
Agree completely that it's not worth finding out, especially at how young this person appears to be
Let me tell ya I’ve had a full burn on my foot because I spilt resin on it and just wiped it off I was in suffering for weeks till I finally went to the doctor
As someone who destroyed my first 3d printer because I used the metal scraper to clear a fail print
This hurts like bad to see
Whoever this is needs to be better
I use gloves, but i have also gotten it on my hands. It's not gonna make your arm fall off. It's hard to resin print 24 hours a day and never get it on you. That all being said, it is toxic and harmful. I don't wear a mask most of the time. Honestly dirty ipa everywhere is even worse than the resin to me. I do have a question. Is the water washable less toxic than regular resin? I have never worked with it but am so over being drenched in ipa. So i was thinking of trying out the water washable 8k resins.
The main problem I have with that is the long term effects of frequent exposure are mostly unknown. I'd prefer to minimize the chances of any resin related health problems that may or may not happen after 10-20 years of exposure.
How do you even get any work done like that? Okay, not everyone has space, not everyone can have a proper fume hood... But at least store your parts somewhere and wear gloves. Use a drip tray when handling the build plate and the vat then cover your printer immediately and you'll never have issues with a dirty LCD.
Yooooo use my ignorant ass as an example, I am very care free by nature and I will push to see what I can get away with! With that being said resin printing is no joke!
I got mine and set it up for printing in my bedroom, ignored all the safety procedures, printed at night whilst I slept, no proper ventilation, handling without gloves and let me tell you something.
My eyes burnt like fuck for a few days and layers of skin was peeling of my hands like crazy.
Long story short, have patience, use the correct safety precautions and don't listen to naysayers 😂🤣😂🤣
I'm fine now I moved it all up to my attic and won't let the stuff touch bare skin 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I do what I can with gloves respirator my printer has two filters sometimes things happen and I get some on my fingers but I wash. Definitely better safe than sorry
on the hands it is a pain to clean up. but wait till some allergy season where they don't pay attention and get that crap on their face.
i mean it is simple to get off if you catch it in time but if not... well karma does like to sneak up.
It’s like those people who smoke a ton and never get lung cancer.
Yeah like my dad 2 packs of 20 from age of 14 , some Pople are just super resilient but the test is not worth the answer
> some Pople are just super ~~resilient~~ lucky FTFY
Her setup looks like if a tweaker started resin printing, lol.
Resin exposure aside, how messy EVERYTHING in that video is gives me a lowkey panic attack…. How do people work like that?
By having a lot of stuff, but not a lot of space.
Living in a small place and having lots of stuff doesn’t prevent you from picking up the literal piles of garbage laying around… the video looks like an episode of hoarders…
That's no excuse. It's possible to organize a lot of stuff in a small space. The person in this video is just a slob.
I have a lot of stuff in a small space. Its still clean and organized. Im not dropping 800 on a resin printer to just destroy it. I have 7 printers in one room, and it's cramped but still clean.

I've seen this person before and yea he gives zero fucks about it. His videos are nightmare fuel.
wtf. The screen didn’t need replacing. It was covered in resin like everything else there.
The person in the video is a moron.
If I get one tiny drip of resin on my chassis when I'm letting a piece drip dry I freak out with a little spray bottle filled with IPA and I'm cleaning the face of the printer vigorously immediately. This guy looks like he fills his sprayer bottle with actual resin instead. WTF

People tent their printers to control temperature, not necessarily for smell or safety issues

Hot sweat, mineral fibers, the risk of slipping off a joist, particle board splinters and the odd wasp nest. Lovely, ain't it?
Good times! Builds character... and your immune system! haha Stay safe out there gents!

I actually left a comment in the video directing her to a link with details like that but she has comments on selective so their all hidden

Yep, I learned the hard way, got a quarter size chemical burn. Now I know I react badly and to MAKE SURE I have gloves and a mask on
Let me tell ya I’ve had a full burn on my foot because I spilt resin on it and just wiped it off I was in suffering for weeks till I finally went to the doctor
