>Just so you know, 3d print resin only produces fumes while curing.
Clearly not, or they wouldn't smell even when not-curing. There has to be something there for your nose to detect it you know. Now is the smelly part also the dangerous part, or is it perhaps that we only get the really dangerous stuff wile curing? Fuck knows, I'd actually love to see a proper article about that, as opposed to the usual completely unsourced but dead certain claims we see all the time about these things.
Compare with the VOC talk, and the various youtubers getting a cheap VOC-detector off of Amazon to see if carbon filters do anything. I recall at least one saying the filter did little, because the smell went away but the detector didn't notice much. But the shit he's smelling is also VOCs, so clearly some of them went away. Was that just harmless ones while the naughty ones are still there? Does the detector actually detect the really dangerous tuff from the printer/resin in the first place? Fuck knows, the video isn't made by someone who knows anything about such things, it's just some random guy fumbling around with a dirt cheap bit of Chinese electronics without giving any though to what "VOC" actually means and what it is his nose is detecting. (The PEA reminds us:"All available measurement methods are selective in what they can measure and quantify accurately, and none are capable of measuring all VOCs that are present.")
All in all there's a massive shortage of actually authoritative sources for information on these things. You have your ideas, this guy has his, that guy has his, I could make some guesses... But who actually knows his shit, and how to recognise him? Fuck knows.
