I could tell you that it was a surprise for me but it's not and I also have a resin printer. Have you smelled that? It's the smell of cancer building up in your brain! But to be fair, so it's cola, coffe, fastfood, processed food, cars, every material used for building and keeping your house clean and anything diet... so you know... I was already going to have cancer, at least now I got to play with some toys while dying

Edit: Just wanted to add that my BIL was 43 yo, vegan, fit, would work out and swim 7 days a week, would eat salad from his own backyard, lived in a rural "clean" area and meditate and didn't like technologies... died from cancer at 43. I'm a fat slob that resin prints for 3 years and already outlived him

Please don't have resin in your room. It's nasty, and use gloves to touch (I assume you do), you can get chronic dermatitis from uncured resin

oh no I don't have it in my room, it's in the garage, but the smell goes all around the house

I have had dermatitis from resin in my arm (accidental) so yeah i'm aware pretty nasty stuff.
