If you're going to be watching TV next to it, then maybe. A lot of the resin these days don't even smell very much. The IPA is a lot stronger TBQH.

I have a buddy who has a Mars 2 pro and I was really impressed with it. Thinking of getting one myself, actually.

Usually I'm only in there to check on the printers, or if I need to quickly grab something. The room itself has pegboard walls, so it's not exactly a sealed space even when the door is closed.

Should I try to tie it in to the ductwork in the basement that vents to the outside but goes through a heat recovery system, or should I just get some dryer vent tubing, and make an insert to put into the basement window whenever I plan on using the resin printer? I've been using Elegoo Eco resin in my den without any filters or external ventilation and I can't smell it unless I'm right in front of it. It is a large room with a lot of natural ventilation though, so ymmv.

So I'm madly in love with my Sonic Mini 4k. It's looking like I'm going to have a pretty big chunk of disposable income from some contract work and was thinking of getting a larger format resin machine. The Sonic Mighty has an 8k upgrade right? Any good competition or superior machines out there?

Still pricy but not horrible. About a grand cheaper than the phenom xl with shipping I think. Should start shipping in August or September? Downside is they are using the chitubox encoded board, but honestly that doesn't bug me as much as some people cause I pretty much only used chitu as a slicer anyway.

Should I try to tie it in to the ductwork in the basement that vents to the outside but goes through a heat recovery system, or should I just get some dryer vent tubing, and make an insert to put into the basement window whenever I plan on using the resin printer? You don't *need* ventilation, probably, but honestly it's 100% worth doing if you can reasonably do so, especially an extraction-style vent that just yeets everything outdoors. I know the fumes from some resins in summer heat get bad enough that I almost shuttered my printer earlier this summer, and I'm still planning on doing a fairly intense recirculating air filter grafted onto the side of an improved, more air-tight enclosure than the stock Mars Pro comes with. And that printer comes stock with improved enclosure gaskets and improved air filtration, too- doesn't always cut it, especially if this is in your living area. The once-through filtration of the 'improved' Elegoo printers doesn't really do poo poo, ime, for a single carbon filter to do much it needs to recirculate continuously to compensate for the meagre scrubbing ability with a single pass. Also note that I have no windows in the room the printer is in so it's on the not-ideal end of the spectrum. It's probably ok, but if you don't have to gently caress around with a constant VOC-emitting device in your home, that's ideal. Even if the smell doesn't bother you, the peace-of-mind factor re: long-term health outcomes is always worth it. Ambrose Burnside fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Jul 10, 2021 |

Over on r/3dprinting someone posted about his project of making the lightest buttplug ever. Why you might ask? He's going on a long bike trip and needs to save weight. But for some reason needs to have sextoys on the trip.  Also, I'm currently/finally rebuilding my Voron 2 and am stuck because I forgot to order 4x1 Molex male connectors.  And dear god are FEP insulated cables expensive as gently caress (it's a similar formulation to PTFE). I paid 90€ for the wiring of that thing.

Tbh i see no reason why you couldn’t make an ultralight sex toy- the catch is that you’re gonna need to use the standard body-safe materials and manufacturing methods to make the final toy, p much no matter how you slice it. use the printer to make your master or to directly print molds, cast the toy from RTV silicone, same as ever. i’m imagining something like a mostly-hollow silicone toy, an outer shell supported by internal ribs/trusses with mostly air in the toy’s internal volume, if you used a stiffer silicone than is typical with solid toys you could probably get comparable firmness, with an intriguing opportunity for anisotropic stiffness/firmness created by different internal rib configurations… if you cast the shell and internal truss segments as separate and combined them upon assembly, casting would be enormously simplified down to conventional solid toy-tier complexity…
