Comment on Resin Printing is killing you.

  Also leads with “It’s not clickbait”, **then it is very very evidently clickbait. Really the peak of modern Youtube scum.

    To be fair, this is kind of the environment YouTube have cultivated over the years, intentionally or otherwise

  Did you actually watch the video?

  He literally presents a list of reasons around 5:12. Then he goes on to describe how formaldehyde already affects him.

  Resin priting can be a lot of fun, but he’s correct: that shit is toxic. It needs to be respected, and he’s also correct in pointing out the carbon filter on many printers is basically a placebo for the consumer.

  Still don’t believe him? Fine. Go checkout the small book that is the set kf warnings with this stuff from a resin producer: entropyresins.com/safety/epoxy-safety-tips/

      Now you’re moving the goal post. First it was that they didn’t provide what it’s dangerous. Now it’s that they didn’t tell you have to protect yourself.

  He mentions VOCs within the resin, just because you can’t wrap your head around why “volatile organic compounds” can be bad for you, does not mean it’s wrong. Take proper precautions to ventilate the area while printing resin, please.

    volatile organic compounds

    Perfume and air fresheners are VOCs, you need to know specifically what ones.

    Oh, we’re supposed to read the manuals now before handling chemicals now?!

      I'll check the manuals after mixing up this sweet bleach and ammonia cleaning spray.

    You clearly have no idea what that even means.

    When you cook food there are voletile organic componds. Almost everything you smell are voletile organic compounds. Parfums are voletile organic compounds

    It doesn’t say shit about how bad something is for you.

      And the difference being that those VOCs are not specifically isomers which are carrying polymers for additive manufacturing. Volatile meaning they are airborne, organic meaning that they’ve got carbon bonds which readily interact with other chemistry…

        Basically everything that has a smell is a VOC. If it wouldn’t be volatile it wouldn’t have a smell. Something being volatile alone doesn’t say anything about it’s toxicity.

        Something being organic also doesn’t say anything about toxicity. Your whole body is made out of carbon. Something being an organic compound doesn’t say anything about it’s reactivity either. That’s simply not how it works.

        Something being a polymer also doesn’t say anything about it’s toxicity. Proteines are polymers. DNA is a polymer too and neither are particularly toxic. Polymer just means that’s its a structure that repeats itself. Poly = multiple, mer = parts.

        Everything you said doesn’t say anything about toxicity. Toxicity depends on the individual compound. Even small alterations can make a harmless molecule toxic.

        I had no idea reskin could cause serious injury with mere contact. Why is it so dangerous?
