Don't risk your health, most non dental resin is pretty bad to breathe, let alone have in your mouth. Even if the resin is non-toxic, the biggest problem is that it can't be properly cleaned. The surfaces of 3D printed objects are very uneven and flawed, so there's lots of little places for bacteria to hide and grow. The best 3D printers under $500. As the accompanying video shows, one or more rooks (there are four on the shelf) either began melting or oozing very toxic resin all over my shelf. But why? Water-Washable Resins. Generally, resin 3D printed parts require some post-treatment to remove supports and excess resin. These cleaning steps are usually performed with isopropyl alcohol (IPA). However, there is a type of 3D printing resins that are water washable and therefore do not require chemical treatment. What Potential Risks Do Resins Pose? The word “toxic” can be frightening, but by the definitions created by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, any substance that’s suspected of Resin 3D printing is a type of additive manufacturing technology that uses liquid resins to craft objects. This 3D printing type is also known as vat photopolymerization: the process uses short wavelength light to solidify liquid resin into 3D pieces. In most resin 3D printers, the process starts with a build platform filled with liquid resin. So, the answer to the question is yes, the resin is toxic. But that’s not the end. Luckily, a scientific method – the curing process of the resin, can do wonders when it comes to making resin less toxic and usable in 3D printing. Complications Of Resin. After knowing the toxicity of resin, it’s equally important to know how toxic it is. As 3d printing resins are much more toxic than filaments for FDM printers, their use must be carried out in controlled environments where additional security measures are established. Latex gloves and eye protection must always be worn when handling liquid resin. In today's episode of Trash Dragon Hobbies, I show you how I made a a ventilation system for my resin 3d printer to get all of those nasty fumes out of the h nChoU.
