Build a Filtration Cabinet to Make Your Resin 3D Printer Safe
There is still a lot we don’t know about the health effects from breathing 3D printing fumes. But what we do know suggests there is good reason to be cautious, and resin printers seem to be particularly problematic. To stay safe with their new resin 3D printer, Allie Katz built this filtration cabinet and uploaded the files for you to do the same.
