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.

    I had no idea reskin could cause serious injury with mere contact. Why is it so dangerous?

      Resin typically has chemicals which are auto-immune sensitizers. The more often your immune system comes in contact with them, the more strongly it reacts. You could be one of the lucky ones, and have it contact you a hundred times and nothing happen too drastic other than dermatitis. Other people have gotten it on them a handful of times and are now highly sensitive to it (I’m one of those).
