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.

    The mask that comes with resin printers is about as effective as a bandaid for a gun shot wound.

    I wear a 3m respirator with filters specd for VOCs.

    I’d also recommend getting one of the carbon filters that goes inside of you resin printing enclosure as they do a lot for mitigation of gnarlyness.

    Also having your printer in an enclosure that exhausts fumes right out your window is good for your health.

    Keep an air filter in your room that has a decent amount of carbon for a carbon filter in it as that is good to have as well.
