Other creative toys/products that come to mind would be, say, Play-Doh as a sort of children’s intro to…Clay, I suppose? But in this vein without being exclusively directed towards children (albeit I imagine many may be).

Always enjoyed a creative kind of toy to mess around with.

    I’m happy to hear that you are using ventilation. It’s wild how many resin printer owners don’t.

      More like terrifying. Its not a huge concern acutely, but once your immune system decides its a threat, you can’t work with it again.

      Not to mention, who knows how much of it has formaldehyde and vinyl-chloride and whatever other VoCs mixed in.

        Yep. I’ve been 3D printing for about 5 years exclusively with resin and I’m lucky enough to have never gotten it on my skin directly, but I wear googles, an apron, and elbow length gloves, and I make sure to never work near the printer while it’s running, and I always let my washed prints rest for 24 hours before occupying the same space as them. Shit is nasty.

        Do you have any information on long term effects from the fumes? I have delved down that hole several times and can’t find anything conclusive. Most I’ve ever done across pertains to direct contact with the resin. Asking in good faith.

          The biggest issue is that almost no UV resin comes with an MSDS. This becomes a concern because resins can include formaldehyde and other carcinogens. The respiratory irritation is similar to the skin contact - over time your body can just sta :nope fuck this and leave
