Please, use adequate ventilation (with a heat exchanger if you need to keep A/C in the room) if you’re going to be resin printing inside. I don’t want to see all of you guys get cancer from this hobby.

      Also leads with “It’s not clickbait”, then it is clickbait. Really the peak of modern Youtube scum.

        To be fair, this is kind of the environment YouTube have cultivated over the years, intentionally or otherwise

          To be fair, YouTube cultivated this environment because their users respond to it. If users stopped clicking on clearly-clickbait videos, YT would stop pushing them, and creators would stop making them.

            Little quite I heard from, ironically, a YouTuber:

            “Wishing upon a star that people be better than they are is a terrible plan every time”

          They mean sensitization. It’s where you react more strongly to exposure the more you’re exposed. It’s a problem for a couple of reasons. The scary one is some people move along the reaction continuum from “mildly annoying” to “oh shit call an ambulance” pretty fast. It’s not common but it happens. I actually have a condition that predisposes me to that so I always carry an epi-pen. Good times.

          The more mundane one is, even with controls to remove fumes and PPE to avoid them, it’s not uncommon to still be exposed to a small degree, especially in a hobbyist setting. Let’s imagine you’re lax on avoiding exposure and become sensitized due to prolonged and/or heavy exposure, so you set up proper controls to try to avoid it. Now the small amount of remaining exposure which may have never been a problem with proper controls may actually become a problem. Now you can’t work with that material at all without having some sort of reaction.

      He mentions VOCs within the resin, just because you can’t wrap your head around why inhaling “volatile organic compounds” can be bad for you, does not mean it’s wrong. Take proper precautions to ventilate the area while printing resin, please.

        You know volatile just means it readily evaporates, right?

        Alcohol is a volatile organic compound.

        Nothing about the term ‘volatile organic compound’ means dangerous. You need more information.
