      And sheer toxicity. You need fume vents and air quality monitoring for processing resin.

        The the damn resin absorbing into your skin and curing the next time you’re in direct sunlight. Resin is super detailed, but I can’t say I particularly enjoy doing it.

            Eh, it isn’t so bad as long as you take precaution.

            Wear gloves and a mask, and make sure to keep your tools separate.

              I wonder how may people that have bought a $250 printer from Amazon are taking those precautions or even know they need to.

        Miniatures ≠ most of the 3d printing market. Minis may be fine but the rest of the 3d printing space will be at risk and covers a great deal more use cases.

      I’m not sure what qualifies as “hobbyist” in your book, but the vast majority of hobby-level printers I’ve interacted with over the last 5+ years are into MSLA more than FDM. 🤷🏽‍♂️
