When I came into my office this morning, I found that my boss moved his resin printer into my office and the setup reeks of solvent (it smells like a hundred uncapped expos). Are these fumes fine? Or am I gonna end up with half a melted brain by the end of the week?

    Acetone is not considered to be a carcinogen or even promoter of existing cancers. To my knowledge, no reputable source claims otherwise.

      Right, but there are plenty of other fumes from resin printers which might be harmful. Without knowing which resin, and reading the SDS for it we can only speculate on what might be there.

      I corrected it to toxins, as acetone can still be harmful. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

      We’d see a lot of finger cancers if it was. Acetone being the primary solvent in nail polish remover

      Cancer’s not the only problem toxins can cause…
