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.

    I don’t use a respirator at all, but I also don’t hang out in that room while it’s printing, and I have a small air purifier that runs in there full time.

      A additional concern with resin printers is VOCs, Volatile Organic Compounds, which air purifiers don’t really filter out since they’re focused on particulate cleaning. Sadly there is no solution like dilution, or in this case ventilation

      I also don’t hang out there while it’s printing in my garage. Generally I spend less than 20ish minutes while I clean one print and get another one going.
