So far, it looks like only FDM is at risk here...

Which is most of hobbyist 3D printing. Resin printing has its issues, especially with strength

And sheer toxicity. You need fume vents and air quality monitoring for processing resin.

The the damn resin absorbing into your skin and curing the next time you're in direct sunlight. Resin is super detailed, but I can't say I particularly enjoy doing it.

That’s terrifying I haven’t even considered that. I like my FDM machine.

Eh, it isn't so bad as long as you take precaution.

Wear gloves and a mask, and make sure to keep your tools separate.

I wonder how may people that have bought a $250 printer from Amazon are taking those precautions or even know they need to.
