Except you will have failed prints (for me it's 1 out of every 20 with my form 4 with the kinds of parts I tend to print), which will require taking out the tank to clean obstructions and free-floating debris... and when you're having to filter the resin (like so: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UdX94R3k7YU ), it's exceedingly hard to not get it in contact with your skin.

I agree that resin cartridges don't handle the resin handling problem.

Nitrile/latex gloves + eye protection + respirator are the absolute minimum for resin printing PPE. A long sleeve shirt wouldn't go amiss for rare flicked resin droplets. If you're not confident in your ability to prevent skin contact with resin, you shouldn't be doing resin printing.

  • Right. Just opening a bottle of this kind of photopolymer instantly sends DANGER signals from my nose to my brain (and my spine) causing my whole body to almost seize up. I cant believe reading some comments where people seem to be handing this stuff with their bare hands?!
