Please, use adequate ventilation (with a heat exchanger if you need to keep A/C in the room) if you're going to be resin printing inside. I don't want to see all of you guys get cancer from this hobby.

All VOCs are reactive. VOCs range from "Known Cancer causing effects" to Mildly harmful, but VOCs are considered harmful. At the ranges presented in the video, they are immediately harmful. If you wanna go huff your resin, you deserve what's coming to you. I've talked to Resin chemists (mostly through the 2019-2020 Midwest RepRap Fests), and they agree with most of what's in that video. Go ahead and get mad about things if you feel resolve in doing so. I'll continue warning people of the dangers.

    Nah. It's just that the reasons he mentions are simply not true. Resin fumes are harmful, but not because they are VOCs or because they're polymers. He tries to make it sound like he knows what he's talking about when he clearly doesn't
