Comment on Resin Printing: Good for a Beginner with Limited Space?

I trid this once. Do not do this.
Rsein printers are not for bedrooms. You’ll constantly smell thatstuff and think to yourself that you’re poisoning yourself. Also: spills will happen and you don’t want that stuff spilled on your regular desk or on some object of daily use which then needs to be put out in the sun, just to be safe.
This. I started with FDM at my computer desk in my bedroom. The noise is one thing, but I moved to resin and took the whole lab downstairs. Even in that space, without proper ventilation? I tried it once, and immediately put up the vent system I had on hand.
Simply put? It’s a non-zero risk that isn’t worth it. Hell, there might even be someone here that’s close enough to print stuff for you until you can set something up yourself. 🙌🏽

Gonna second this. Unless you also install a 24/7 fume hood in your bedroom, the smell alone would be nauseating - not to mention toxic/carcinogenic.
Also, I don’t have an FDM printer, but I’ve heard even those aren’t good for bedroom use due to the fumes from the plastic.
