Hi everyone. I recently started 3D printing but was concerned about the fumes of the resin, particularly for where I mix up my salt water.
I had a spill of resin last week, i spilt it into a Tupperware, no biggy, i , cleaned it up etc etc. I mixmy salt water in a trash can and keep a lid on it when I am not mixing. It's in the garage where the 3D printer is.
It does have two tiny holes in the top that I keep covered with a towel, its just where I stick the pipe from the RODI machine that runs the water.
I mixed some water overnight, went to check the salinity this morning and when I took off the lid to the trashcan it smelt suspiciously like resin. My question is when I spilt the resin last week, could those particles have made their way into the trashcan?
I will say that mixed water does give off a kind of ammonia smell so it COULD be that. I also experimented with a pyrex jug i have in the same location. That was closer to the spill than the trashcans and I just filled that with water covered it for a few mins then smelt it. There was no odor. But like I say, the smell from the trash can was suspiciously close to the same smell of resin.
Might just be coincidence. The trash can is about 10FT from the 3D printer.
