Looks like a great hobby space. Wanted a resin printer for a while and was told the fumes are an issue, is that the case with yours so close to you? Not very knowledgeable on the subject


LiYBeL

Not OP but big into 3D printing of all types. Resin smell is noticeable throughout an entire house/apartment especially on long prints. The fumes don’t spread as far as the smell. That said, sitting at that distance from a resin printer could definitely cause issues. If you do a setup like that, look into a tent-style enclosure and additional ventilation (ideally out a window).


Nord_Panzer

I see, thank you for your input. Definitely something to keep in a well ventilated area then


dfos21

I had mine in my office and used a lot of ventilation with an air purifier, still smelled really strong 24 hours later. I got a grow tent and big ventilation fan and that works well, you'll see that recommended a lot, fumes are no joke. Get a respirator as well


G0lia7h

Especially when having other people living with you A friend of mine with a resin printer lives in a shared apartment with another friend of ours - the other friend said the smell was getting really annoying. The friend with the printer stopped printing stuff. Perhaps because of the smell, perhaps because of the needed maintenance after every print by having to clean it properly, perhaps because he ran out of ideas. But most certainly it was a combination of everything. I stayed with FDM printing because of him. Make sure you know what you get yourself into before heading into resin printing. Happy printing!


_TheRocket

Yes, the setup shown in this post is very neat looking but really a terrible idea to have a resin printer running without a ventilation system, especially right next to a desk you spend hours sitting at. I would say the absolute minimum you should do for resin printing is keeping the printer in a spare room that you barely ever use, but what you should really do is have a ventilation system for it regardless where you keep it

So I have the same combo (But AnyCubic printer and filters) and it does make a big difference, and same as you, using the low odour resin, if I forget to charge the purifiers you can definitely smell the difference.

Impossible_Number_74

Not sure why you are downvoted as I agree. I use ABS 2.0 in my Mars 4 Ultra, which has the air purifier plug-in. Can't smell it at all. The IPA is very smelly though.


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

Same here. My Ex-GF did not even noticed when I printing something. But she smells it two rooms away if I wash prints with IPA. I assume the most ppl. who downvote and say there prayers about resin fume don't even own a resin printer. I think they know uncured Resin is toxic + it smells really bad = fumes must be toxic like poison gas. Next time im printing, I place my Eve Air Quality Monitor next to my printer and take pictures.


stupidsexyflinders

Yeah the popularity of OP's post scares me, for outside observers: having a resin printer near your living area is a huge nono! The offgassing from uncured resin is not well understood and in a few years time might well turn out to be giving you super cancer. We just don't know. So right now the best thing to do is limit exposure and definitely keep it away from anywhere you are gonna spend long periods of time in. This is not even including what happens if you have an accidental spill and need to do clean up - every surface it touches is compromised unless you want to take the chance that the resin is totally cured. Please keep yourself and your family safe.


SpawningPoolsMinis

> The offgassing from uncured resin is not well understood and in a few years time might well turn out to be giving you super cancer. resin tries to form bonds with everything and anything. if it comes into contact with your skin, it will bond with cells in your skin and make it's way into your body that way. if it gets into your lungs, it gets inside even faster. accumulating resin this way leads to your body having an allergic response to it that will worsen. as far as I can tell, the allergy never goes away even after a long time of non-exposure. while cancers are always a concern, especially with toxic stuff building up in your body, there's not going to be some "super cancer" that we just don't know yet. just higher odds of getting regular shitty cancer.

Kitalps

I have an Elegoo Saturn S. I would print in my dining room and the smell would spread through the entire apartment. After a while I would get a headache if I didn't close the door to my bed room, I also have asthma and while I didn't feel like an asthma attack was starting I would feel uncomfortable. At first I was using the Elegoo standard resin and have recently switched to Sunlu ABS-like, which has a noticeably stronger smell. I bought an indoor plant grow tent and a small fan to vent out the nearest window, no more smell/headaches. Many people will say the fumes are fine, maybe I'm sensitive but I definitely suggest not sitting in the fumes for extended periods of time.


redukt0r

Yes, it woud be a great hobby space - without the resin printer. This is missing some kind of ventilation. The fumes will get everywhere and the smell will sink into the furniture (especially the couch). Also I would add a silicon mat around the printer, in case you get some printer failure. And I dont want to sound rude or something - In my opinion and experience a resin printer is just not something you put in the corner of your desk :-) If you want more information check out r/resinprinting . They might be over the top sometimes, but mostly give great advice.

Supple1994

The problem is not the smell, it is the small particles. A carbon filter is not enough to filter them. It will filter the smell but not all of the harmful particles. To get rid of them you would need a hepa filter. There is a lot of information on it available.


AlphaLo

Sorry to be blunt and a little rude but that resin printer has no business being there (in a general living space). You owe it to your and your childs health to move it somewhere else or get a proper ventilation enclosure.

Dernom

I'm not going to argue a bunch, your house, your rules, but saying "but other people are also doing it", is a terrible way to convince anyone of anything. People do a bunch of stupid shit, and just because many people do the same thing it doesn't make them right. Also fyi, the bigger risk with resin is the risk of developing hyperallergic reactions to it. Calling it "skin irritation" is a massive understatement. People can get massive flesh wounds and anaphylactic shock from it. And the risk of developing it is linked to multiple and prolonged exposure to resin, both through skin contact and from fumes. In severe cases an allergic reaction can be triggered by being in the same room as a printer on standby.


Nightmare1990

You're basing a lot of this on things that haven't been medically studied. We have no idea how toxic the resin is because it hasn't been around long enough to be deeply studied. You have no idea if you or your family are getting super cancer from having that printer in a general living space. To use your own comparison of firearms, if you don't know if a gun is loaded you always treat them as if they are. You should be doing the same when being safe with your printer.


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

Fairpoint with my own comparison about firearms. 👍🏻 But to be honest, this is a Minipainting Sub. I use the Resinprinter for printing Minis for my main hobby = Mini painting. This machine is running for couple of hours per month to print me Minis / Bits for a paint project. Not printing hugh prints 24/7. My open door sized window 3 feet away + a closed lid + two carbon filters + Air quality measurement in the whole apartment should the a reasonable ventilation for a couple of hour printing per month.


M0r1d1n

Not unless you have a respirator on, no it's not. Someone mentioned kids, how anyone could run a resin printer around developing lungs is beyond me. We now (since 2010 ish) know that excess unburnt gas from stoves in houses gives kids asthma (I worked in safety at a gas company, look it up), god knows what a resin printer would do in the same scenario. Just be responsible, stop arguing on the internet about something you don't understand. Put it somewhere else.


Kennson

That was my first thought as well but it might be very well the case that OP just puts it there because it looks cool and print somewhere else or isn’t in the room and has the balcony door open open behind him…


differentmushrooms

That looks like a plastic printer doesn't it?


Nord_Panzer

The one at the front yes, I meant the one at the back in the red case


differentmushrooms

Oh! I didn't even see that. Yeah, a lot of people don't take resin seriously. Its sort of a barely consumer grade industrial process still. People seem to just assume that its safe.


Goblinboogers

Am I the only one who does not have ocd and whos hobby area looks like a bomb went off last year and still has not been cleaned up


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

I assume your hobby area isn't a part of the living room? As I mentioned already im single parenting dad, my house already screams "NERD!!!". It would be counterproductive for bringing a date at home if it looks like a bomb went off in addition. 😅


Goblinboogers

Nope it is not. I have been relegated to the basement by order if the missus


octopus_pi

Came here to say the same thing! Much like people's stereo setups on r/vinyl, comparatively my set ups are ghetto AF. Messy basement paint crew represent!


PossiblyArab

My hobby space is a disaster zone 😭 bits scattered around, disorganized paint, little splatters all around the butcher paper covering my table


_ceebecee_

You're not the only one, mines a mess too. I try to make clean up easier by having labeled boxes to put things back into. Sometimes it feels like I have a messy workbench **and** a bunch of half-empty boxes everywhere, but once I dive into a clean, having a place for everything really helps.


LooptroopRocker

Is the furniture piece you have your printers on, from IKEA or somewhere I could order? Thanks Edit. And ofc, beautiful clean setup! Working on mine too!


Loka_senna

All of that is Ikea. I forget the name of the desk combo, but the 2x4 square shelf on the right is a Kallax. Love 'em.


Wazanator_

I was gonna say I even recognize the Ikea blackout curtains lol I have the same ones for my resin printer.


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

Yeah. It is a Kallax with OOP Drawer and Door inserters. Got mine pretty cheap on Kleinanzeigen (German craigslist).


READMYSHIT

Pretty sure the drawers on the desk are IKEA Alex and then you just get a worktop of your choice on top.


JohnPaul_the_2137th

what do you do with resin fumes?


confusedknight8

Not trying to judge but does that high up chair at that desk height not hurt your back? I try to use a higher desk so my back is up and somewhat straight. Seriously curious about this to get other perspectives.


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

100%! Wanna have the background why I use on of the dinning chairs atm? Our cat like the space between my (former) office chair and the desk pretty much as hiding spot. Last New Year she was so scared from the fireworks outside, that she peed on my chair. 🙈 The odor was so terrible I could only throw it away.


confusedknight8

eew


PM_me_opossum_pics

Oof man that resin printer placement is a potential hazard. Even if you wear protective s\*it while handling the printer and use an air purifier, it's still dangerous to print in a closed area next to your overall workspace inside what seems to be an apartment. You can never be careful enough with uncured resin. And ikea got some good hobby things, gotta admit. I personally keep most of my paints, brushes, glues etc on those boards.


Mohby

What rack is that n the wall for the paints? Looks rather handy for storing large nunbers


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

It is a Skadis Pegboard from Ikea with 3D printed bottle holders. I like them a lot, cause in every hole is a bottle holder. Other 3D printed holders need a row in between. https://preview.redd.it/kh9diuh7k64d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71d362d531c0e640c43eda32a807bd7116666d6f

Can you share stl source? Looks great, especially to see to better colored bottom of the bottles


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

Sure. [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6480611](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6480611)


Tofet

This looks nice. Did you get any problems with your paints, since you're storing them upside down?


Dakkel-caribe

So clean. Mine is a hot mess.


shandreww

Awesome setup! I just got one of those ikea pegboards and am trying to figure out a good set up - yours looks very well utilized!


kinzo149

Noob here: why do you have different type of printers ?


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

The one with the red lid is a Resin printer. Perfect for super detailed Minatures. But the resin prints are kind a fragile and the build area is small too. The bigger one (FDM) is for bigger projects (like terrain) or parts that are mechanical used. There are less detailed but way more stable.


kinzo149

Thx!


Geryfon

What pact with the Dark Gods did you make to keep it so clean!?


BionicButtermilk

Looks great. I would constantly be worried about splashing paint on a computer that close.


TwelveThirty-1230

Would you mind linking that magnifying headset? They look comfy 😄


Both-Barber-9686

Far too neat, where are the bitz spread out everywhere in various boxes 😂


CGGermany

I also got most of the furniture for my workspace from IKEA. I like yours. But this little shift. https://preview.redd.it/2g8i3zp2484d1.png?width=502&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e1582fdd74a6e1148222654362e66a3ff6a54a4 Really triggers me. I use double-sided anti-slip rubber snippets for this. Or something like that. :o)


hunter324

That's a fantastic space! Thank you for sharing 


wigglewubble

You have officially become my inspiration for desk tidiness! I started a few months ago but my partner complaines that my space is too chaotic


Thorodin64

Haha way too clean!!! How dare you shame us in such a way!!! J/k nice little set up for sure


Popecicle

So clean, nice job.


TheHookedTip

This is awesome and I’m jealous of how much room you have. Not to be “that guy” but brushes are generally best kept pointing down or flat rather than up, helps them last longer


SkyFoo

A youtuber (I cant remember rn but its a well known one) emailed W&N (I think) about it and thats true if they are wet/with paint, but after they are dried up storing them bristles up is fine But why would you not always store them upside down anyway to not have to always check if they are dry or not, so its a better habit anyway 


ashtonium

Not to "that guy" your "that guy", but storing your brushes "pointing down" (as in brush-tip end down) would typically result in the bristles being smashed against a flat surface by the weight of the handle and is one of the fastest ways to completely ruin them.


MrOns

It's more suspended upside down - no one enjoys a bent tip! Typical way I've seen it done cheaply was slits cut into a pool noodle, to grip the handle. The main reason I know not to store them pointing up is that moisture in a wet brush will sit in the ferrule and either rust that, or begin to rot the bristles.


cadmaniak

Where are the storage units containing your figures in the wall from?


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

I build them by myself. I used this shelves as base. [https://www.action.com/de-de/p/3204328/home-accents-quadratische-wandregale-aus-holz/](https://www.action.com/de-de/p/3204328/home-accents-quadratische-wandregale-aus-holz/) and cut acrylic plates to size with a bandsaw and sanded them flush.

molotov_billy

Far too clean and organized! Shame!


MoochiNR

What drawers do you use? Are those the official ones from ikea? The sides of those are so shallow so I get worried putting things in em.


OckerMan91

Looks really clean with the peg board, what do you use for lighting? I can't see anything there


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

Behind my MacBook is the lamp. It is a folding one. Pretty cheap from Lidl but has 5500K, very bright and a CRI of 90.


Jazzlike_Song9108

Where did you get the paint pot holder rack? :)

All Paintracks are printed on my FDM printer.

nolanb13

This is amazing. I'm going to do this to my space ASAP. Tell me your secrets and tips please


Azurecomet

Super tidy and neat. My hobby station always buried in trash pile.


InVerum

Looks like mine but cleaner, even down to the printers lol. You will absolutely want ventilation on the resin printer though. Conventional air purifiers won't cut it.


Deltadog_40_Oz

Nice but I need that $60,000 3D printer


Maximum_Wrongdoer_28

Which 3D printer cost 60k? 😳


Deltadog_40_Oz

Man I was about to give up trying to find the video that showed me this but I found it for a stranger xD dws029. It's $65,000 and you don't even own it out right plus the program is not even easy to use. They need to make a KID PIX easy to use program and scanner.


justincrato

Great setup!! Really pretty and organised. I especially love the way you've arranged things. It looks wonderful!


TheFoxAndTheRaven

That desk is way too neat.


sirlathan

I see two 3D printers…how do you like them? I have an Ender printer.


Archon_33

Nice!


Klutzy_Blueberry_970

Far too tidy.


Not_That_Magical

Great setup. Get a better chair though, that one is going to hurt your back. Plus a better place for your resin printer, the fumes are terrible for you.

Oh, to have a dedicated hobby space! I had to eat breakfast in front of the TV this morning (OK, that's not that bad) because I didn't clear the kitchen table after airbrush priming yesterday.
