While it’s adorable to see the “overly protective Californians vs redneck bravado 'Baman” dichotomy the safety concerns with resin are definitely not blown out of proportion. It is a large skin irritant, and respiratory problem.
Additionally the mineral spirits/isopropal bath, after washing a resin part, becomes hazardous and can not be discarded down the drain or in a lake. Typically needs to go to a place that takes used paints or household chemicals for disposal.
This guy is in an openish room and caught a big hit of resin and had a coughing fit.
So yeah, resin printing has a pretty caustic downside.
OK… I don’t know what “baman” is, but as for “redneck” - I take that as a compliment. In the words of Charlie Daniels, “What this World Needs is a Few More Rednecks.”
Now, now that the name calling is out of the way… I didn’t say that precautions didn’t have to be taken. When I watch a home improvement show and the electrician is wearing safety goggles to screw on wire nuts… yeah - I’m going to stick with my observation that the world has gone fugging mad.
As for the resin, I’m sure it is a hazard to a degree, but I’m not going to base my health concerns on g@@gletube videos.
This is, hands down, the best entry level printer on the market. Like modi123 said, not for everyone. Definitely need to be a tinkerer/engineering minded, but $200 is a good price. The $160 black friday price was crazy. I have 5 printers (two Ender-3’s), usually 3 of them going at any given time and they have more than paid for themselves. If you are looking to getting into the hobby, this is the printer you want.
Some dude’s electrical safety has no bearing on caustic chemicals and safe handling. To equivocate them as truth is dishonest and wrong.
I don’t get the ‘g@@gletube’ term, but those two cats have a vast swath of experience, and one even shows a guy getting rocked back on his heels after a wiff of resin. The other doesn’t dedicate a full video on complex post processing for the lullz. It is a serious concern when going into resin printing.
It serves to illustrate the unnecessary overabundance of caution that is “required” of the general public in the name of “safety.” So, yeah… the inclusion of that example was quite apropos.
I know both guys - I watch their videos on a regular basis. Yes, they both have plenty of experience. Having a smell strong enough to knock you back does not necessarily equate to caustic.
Once again, I don’t know why you are arguing with me. though. I’ve already said that certain precautions should be taken, but that the full extent is overblown. Resin printers are not death machines that no mere mortal should approach.
Don’t lick the resin; Don’t go inhaling the resin; Don’t pour resin in your eye… I mean, I guess in a world where idiots eat Tide Pods and shove pennies in electrical sockets because some other idiot on the internet challenged them to… Yeah… OK… I guess maybe you’re right… PEOPLE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE RESIN PRINTERS UNSUPERVISED
