I started resin printing and I am wondering if you guys use a full on resperator (if so is their a specific classification you’d recommend?) Or do you just use a cloth / surgical mask?

So far I have been using the mask that came with my printer (Elegoo mars 3 pro) but and not sure if that is sufficient.

    Ecoresins definitely have much lower VOCs than most resins, so they are safer. And odor does strongly correlate with VOC level since there are very few VOCs that are odorless.

    On a separate tangent for me, working in a chemistry lab I breathe in way worse shit, so I don’t care about some resin, the long term damage is extremely minor.
