Question for those of you versed in the material safety of uv resin
I trust this forum to be more level headed about risk assessment than the general public
How possible is it for something like uv resin fumes to cause something like bronchitis? Like bad
I understand it’s technically a lung irritant, but only a 2 hazmat level which is fairly low considering a lot of other stuff I work with… admittedly semi haphazardly at work
Currently mega sick with a super case of bronchitis
Wife got sick like a week ago for 2-4 days and then was “better for 2-4 before I started getting sick
I also started resin printing every night about 3 days before I got hit with this crud
Both are semi weird timings that I would have expected to be problematic sooner
Like I would have thought if the wife transferred it to be, I would have gotten I sick sooner
I admit I was hanging out in the printer room because I was doing multiple 40 minute prints and slicing next files while it ran, but I have a large carbon air filter running in there and I could barely even notice the fumes
I would have expected minor issues before a full blown sickness
Also Been running a decent fever off and on, so that makes me lean towards biological? But maybe irritation allows something to bloom?
Hard to know but most msds data for these hazards are for momentary encounters as the expectation is that you would be vacating the area in the event of spill etc.
Chronic exposure over long times like overnight prints while you sleep could have serious implications. All these kinds of exposures depend on two things; intensity and time. Even if the intensity is low, but you’re breathing in these fumes inside your living space for extended periods of time, your exposure could be extremely risky.
If possible, manage your air venting options. Contain the printing in a closed space with a powered vent fan to extract fumes to the outside of your living space, and a small passive vent to allow air to flow into your print space. This allows adequate air flow into the print space and out to the outside, so it does not infiltrate into your living space.
Thanks, getting better and better. Had the post opp checkup and ask the doc to X-ray the implant to make sure it has no damages.
The X-ray operator was a bit confused and the doctor was really curious about it. No one at the hospital had ever seen one before
Apparently there’s been some kind of super respiratory bug going around work… worse than Covid, but not… I guess that’s what I got… just bad timing on new printer caused paranoia
ive been making fully resin printed gamecube controllers with replaceable gates, usb-c, and and extra z button (L1/LB)
they have a custom board that has an RP2040
Thanks, I looked for that thread, but couldn’t find it
The X-ray tech was a bit confused on how to scan it (every tech in the building came to check out the x-rays ), but the doctor was super curious, he heard about it, but never seen one before. Talked about RFID and how it works. The actual image on the computer looks so crisp you can the the winding around the core and the 2 chip back to back. I was blown away by the details. The picture of the screen is super craptastic …
Sometimes I use my linux and windows pc or raspberry pi at the same time with different wired keyboards. I used to get annoyed at myself for using the wrong keyboard. So I designed and printed a dual level keyboard stand.
I explored many different options before realizing the simplest option was the best
It’s tiny and might get even smaller
I’m also going to 3D print a tiny little case for it
Yes, an inductor using usb-c audio output.
It’s definitely usable like that but I would like to amplify things a bit. The issue is I can’t figure out a way to get both the usb’s 5v reverse charging to power the amp AND audio output. Otherwise I would have to add onboard power which sucks
I haven’t tried a custom coil yet, maybe that could help
i think you just have to tell the phone that you are a peripheral and the phone port needs to be in host mode… then it should supply power. this is different from “reverse charging” or “power sharing” which is high current output.
