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.

I wouldn’t be in the room where the resin printer is printing, if you have to they make small carbon filter devices that sit inside the printer that help a lot. I would then also get a cheap room fair purifier and sit next to it as well.

Resin is a pain because it can be pretty toxic all around

Edit: I meant to reply to the OP with this, but I’m too lazy to move it ;)
