Can’t stress the use of gloves and a mask for safety when using resin. I got some resin on my latex gloves one time, happened to go outside and I could feel the resin baking in the sun within seconds of the sunlight hitting the glove.

I can’t imagine what that would have felt like if I didn’t have gloves on.

I have a painter’s mask with the disposable filters and it is a must have as well. I can’t smell the fumes with it on but can smell the lingering fumes immediately when taking it off.

I got my first SLA printer last year and can confirm, do not get this if you don’t have good ventilation or space away from you.

I print exclusively with water washable resins which are less potent in smell and IIRC toxicity too, and it still smells and the smell still gives me a headache if I try to do something quick without my mask. The smell lingers around the printer when printing even hours after putting on the top cover. I’m working on a solution to air it out through a dryer duct but I don’t think that will be the end all either.

Go with an FDM and print PLA until you have a better arrangement at home. Avoid ABS printing because it has similar effects and dangers for your health as resin printing.

I wondered the same but I guess they did it because of their weed stuff in the second picture.

I wouldn’t say NSFW for that but to each their own.

Oof, good point I didn’t consider about the brittle nature.

Well hopefully something works out for you!

Can you respool the bigger spool into smaller spools for use with your filament dryer?

I have done this in the past because my FDM printer uses specialized cartridges that have a smaller spool inside of them. So if I wanted to use those cartridges from a bigger spool I bought elsewhere, I had a part 3D printed to fit the smaller spool and attach it to a drill and then when I turn the drill, the spool starts to wind itself.

My 3D printed part for the drill is specific to my printer’s cartridge spools, though. But I’m sure others exist online that would fit yours or you could modify one to fit.

I can’t find the exact one I used but here is one like mine to give you a visual idea of what I’m talking about https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:423515
