Well this is beyond absurd.

    Even the cheapest Resin printers could do this. FDM printers definitely not.

    Resin printers are a big health hazard though, I developed epoxy contact allergy from exposure to the rosin, even though I was careful with always wearing PPE

      Well obviously you were not wearing PPE and let your skin touch the uncured resin, but I agree the toxicity of resins is vastly understated by the industry.

      PPE for those resins isn’t a pair of gloves and a paper mask, it is a full cover splash apron and a full face respirator that is rated for organic chemical gas. The fumes getting on your skin or trapped in mucous membranes like the lungs and eyes that causes it, direct spills just accelerate the process.

          They would need to be gloves that are resistant to plastic solvents and plasticizers, I’m not personally convinced the usual nitrile ones would do anything at all against some of them as they are also used in nitrile production.

          Still though, having skin exposed to the fumes in any capacity can do it from what I can tell, I know a few people in college at a makerspace that never directly worked with the SLA printers but still developed the allergy from being in the same enclosed space.

      You are wrong about this.

      Look into the centauri carbon. It can print minis with insane detail if you get a smaller nozzle.
