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.

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

Yeah, you're right. They're right, but they're not right about why they're right.
