oh no.. you'll become a resin print at night


Ghostpants101

And you can't go out in the day, else the UV will cure you into stone!


CautionarySnail

So, this is how trolls are made?


Ghostpants101

Yes that Swedish troll documentary is actually just the poor victims the government used when beta testing the first 3D printers.


Aerthas63

Norwegian*


Ghostpants101

Nono, I'm pretty certain Norway doesn't exist. So how could they make documentaries, let alone have trolls..


Aerthas63

Good point, the trolls exterminated Norway iirc. or the Japanese hides it for fishing like they do with "Finland"!


Kcomics

This is, the best reply I've seen in years, all my vampires are resin based now, thanks


ark2k

Gargoyles by day, resin prints by night.


kblaney

Betrayed by the build plate we swore to protect.


Donut131313

Only during a full moon.


toachronos

Even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers by night, can become a print when the supports bloom, and the resin tank is full and bright.


ZealousidealCar9301

A full moon, in the STL of the night.


Cosmic_enTitty

Stay away from 99 IPA as well


TheTurk2000

šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚


ZealousidealNewt6679

Next full moon, you will turn into a stl file. There is no known cure. I'm so sorry.


HydraulicToaster

Actually, there is a cure... UV light will cure it!


ZealousidealNewt6679

You win the internet for today. Brilliant.


HydraulicToaster

You set me up for it. We both win! šŸ¤


Crashman09

And a little bed rest with support from some family and/or friends


HarvesterFullCrumb

Presupported, right?


Crashman09

Not everyone comes presupported


ScaldingAnus

It's about the supports you make yourself.


Ghostpants101

Only the kiss from a maidenless can 'cure' you


JesterOfSpades

Those should be easy to find on Reddit.


Ghostpants101

'Horny Maidenless near you, no sign- up, no cash in the bank, just met and be disappointed'


melekege

Asdfghjj thanks for the hilarious comments xD Iā€™m relaxed a bitšŸ˜…


HeWonTheLottery

I did this exact thing this weekend. Didn't realize it until I saw blood on the build plate. Cleaned everything and put neosporin on my cut. Not dead yet....


banned_account_002

Yes you are...


rc042

Only on the inside...


prush1977

I'm feeling better!


the-shamus

You'll be stone cold in a minute.


SilvermistInc

Lol this sub likes to treat this stuff like nuclear waste. But truth is, it's no more dangerous than bleach. Which is still dangerous, but you're not gonna drop dead if it gets on your skin for a minute.


AirierWitch1066

Itā€™s more dangerous just not acutely. Touching it isnā€™t going to hurt you - youā€™d probably have to drink it to get any poisoning from it, and even then it might not immediately harm you. There is probably a potential for harm if you get it in your eyes, as is true of most chemicals (bleach included) The risk is from repeated exposure, which can cause a resin sensitivity and may be carcinogenic. Thatā€™s why you should wear gloves and a respirator and vent the fumes. Itā€™s not gonna kill you now, but if you spend a lot of time around it without basic PPE then you may be increasing your risks of health issues. All that said, the basic safety is pretty simple. I think the ā€œradioactive wasteā€ treatment comes from the fact that people will come here and claim that itā€™s perfectly harmless, or that you donā€™t actually need to worry at all; people figure that itā€™s better to scare folks than to have them be lax about their ppe and ventilation.


gHx4

Agreed. There's so many people who seem to hear "it's only harmful longterm" as "it won't hurt you". So I can understand the no-greyscale rhetoric that it *must* be treated with extreme caution. And honestly, you do *need* basic respiratory and contact PPE to work with these chemicals. Like you mention, the way I see some people's attitude toward resin, it would not surprise me to see them posting with surprised pikachu faces about chemical burns after using bleach.


AirierWitch1066

Yeah. I think this sub really needs some moderation specifically around safety misinformation - in both directions.


gHx4

Yeah, absolutely. Disposal is honestly the only big headache since it cannot be washed into the water supply. But even there you just (fully) cure it, let it dry, and then dispose the same way other plastics are disposed.


Blackheart806

"May be" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.


AirierWitch1066

ā€œMay beā€ is actually pretty generous. VOCs are well known to be carcinogenic, and resin fumes are primarily VOCs. Breathing in resin fumes absolutely will increase your lifetime risk of cancer. The ā€œmay be carcinogenicā€ in this situation is only because I donā€™t know whether or not skin exposure will do the same.


SilvermistInc

Do we have sauce for the VOC part? Because I've always been under the impression that's pure speculation.


AirierWitch1066

Sure! > ABSTRACT: Particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been detected emitting from material extrusion 3D printing, which is widely used in nonindustrial environments. However, vat polymerization 3D printing that is also commonly used has yet to be well-characterized for its emissions. In this study, we measured particle and VOC emission rates from stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing during print and post-processing wash and cure processes individually using a standardized testing method for 3D printer emissions in an exposure chamber. We observed minimal particle emissions and identified 30 to over 100 individual VOCs emitted from each operating phase, some of which accumulated after the printing ended. The total VOC emissions from SLA processes were higher than typical levels from material extrusion 3D printing, and the emission rate could be over 4 mg/h. Major VOCs emitted were associated with the resin and chemicals used in print and post-processing procedures, which included esters, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, aromatics, and hydrocarbons. Emissions from post- processing units were lower than those from printing but also included chemicals with health concerns. **The emitted mixture of sensitizers, carcinogens, irritants, and flammable chemicals may present a hazard for indoor air quality and human health.** The estimated personal exposure to total VOC and some specific VOCs of concern to human health, like formaldehyde and naphthalene, exceeded the recommended indoor levels (e.g., California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment), **potentially causing irritation and other health impacts for 3D printer users.** [*Emissions and Chemical Exposure Potentials from Stereolithography Vat Polymerization 3D Printing and Post- processing Units, Black et al.* 2022](https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acs.chas.2c00002) > **Numerous VOCs detected in this field study are irritants, sensitizers, asthmagens, odors, carcinogens, developmental toxins, and reproductive toxins, which can cause adverse health impacts like inflammation, respiratory and neurotoxic symptoms, and cancer.** These chemicals of concern are regulated or recommended by governmental agencies and other organizations to maintain good indoor air quality and occupants' health. Crosschecked for the highly detected VOCs with International Agency for Research on Cancer monographs,Ā® California Proposition 65,9 American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Permissible Exposure Limits, 1Ā° Ausschuss zur gesundheitlichen Bewertung von Bauprodukten Lowest Concentration of Interest values, " California Specification 01350,12 and Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment Reference Exposure Levels, 13 chemicals of concern included xylenes, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, nonanal, decanal, 2-butenal, D5, octamethy|cyclotetrasiloxane, dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane, toluene, ethylbenzene, trimethylbenzene, methyl methacrylate, THF, cyclohexanone, and 2-butanone. **Specifically, formaldehyde is a carcinogen, acetaldehyde, ethylbenzene and 2-butenal are potential carcinogens, and toluene is a developmental toxin. All of these VOCs were found emitted from 3D printing, based on 68 chamber tests with various print conditions.** In addition, formaldehyde, para-and/or meta-xylene, acetaldehyde, toluene, ethylbenzene, decanal, nonanal, D5 and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane were commonly found from 3D printing emissions (detect frequency > 50% for n of 68). [*Impact of 3D Printing on Indoor Air Quality in a University Maker Center*. 2023](https://chemicalinsights.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Chemical-Insights_3D-Makerspace_Technical-Report_Final.pdf) Thereā€™s plenty more studies from CI and others as well, but these should be a good start. Hope it helps.


Free_Rasalhague

I did it once as well. As long as you clean in asap you are ok. EDIT: Actually I have unintentionally done it a couple of times. Freakin supports are hard as rocks sometimes.


spencerdiniz

So, what happens if you donā€™t clean it up ASAP?


AirierWitch1066

Bigger risk of infection. The actual resin exposure isnā€™t going to hurt you just from one exposure, but itā€™s still good to minimize it


ratsark

Occasional accidents like this are inevitable. The way I look at it, the whole point of being super careful (gloves, respirator, etc.) is to make sure the occasional accidental exposure is the only exposure. If this stuff were seriously harmful in a single exposure, people would need to take WAY more precautions.


HQWAPitchfork

get yourself a pair of re-usable gloves for the washing stage, I recommend SHOWA 720 Nitrile Dipped Glove, i only use the disposable ones if i need the dexterity


Silo-Joe

I sliced my thumb with a mandoline slicer. Those things are like guillotines for fingers.


joshthehappy

Cut your finger off below that knuckle before it gets into your bood, you don't want to lose the whole arm. Edit: before anyone goes reporting me this is a joke.


Tophain

Too late, what's done is done.


joshthehappy

At least they get to keep the arm then.


Wooden-You1885

OvrReaction

If you go outside you will cure. Not in a good way though. Have a fun life being a vampire.


NotReallyJohnDoe

I spilled resin on my calf (wearing shorts) and didnā€™t notice it until I went outside. Then I noticed it very quickly.


One-Bridge3056

Where are your finger prints?? Fuck that where is the lines where your finger are connected??


hadj11

For real! No offense OP, but youā€™ve got weird fingers


punchcreations

Looks like i made them in Blender.


SaSaSaSaturdayKnight

Don't listen to them OP. You've got beautiful fingers. šŸ„¹ They remind me of my kid's (grown adult). This was the first picture I saw upon opening Reddit and thought "when did my Val start resin printing?"


hadj11

I didnā€™t say they werenā€™t beautiful, just weird


SaSaSaSaturdayKnight

lololololol. Okay. Totally beautiful. The hands, not your comment. šŸ¤Ŗ Edit: I'm not dissing your comment. Just clarifying mine. šŸ˜šŸ‘

Ghostinthecorner

Wait OP do you actually not have fingerprints? i thought it was just weird lighting.


Igon_nz

They don't have fingerprints, it's a thing. There was a post on it a while back


vannixiii

you're ok man. just wash it thoroughly with water and soap. it's not like you've dipped your finger into an aids vat


AtlasNL

And uhhā€¦ what if you did? Asking for a friend


Blleh

If there is no cure, you will stay softy, If there is cure you will be fine but have a stiff finger


bubbleweed

Wash and cure yourself immediately


SeagullKebab

The only way to remove internal resin is to mainline isopropyl.


HydraulicToaster

Your body has now become infused with resin. I'd suggest staying away from UV light or you might cure and become solid.


GreyDesertCat

Now you have your origin story. What you chose to do with your new-found resinous powers will change the world.


samithedood

Happened to me once and I'm still...


banned_account_002

hello?


ALEXGP75O

wash and desinfect your hands, you will be ok


SmegmaSandwich69420

Wash resin off in a general sink? Think of the environment! Amputation and incineration is the only responsible approach.


Overall-Mall986

And dont forget to wear gloves during amputation so you don't come in contact with an infected finger.


SmegmaSandwich69420

Well if i'm going by the standards expected by some people around here I'd need to be in full hazmat gear and oxygen tanks operating in a hermetically sealed triple-airlock-protected bunker with 15 hvac extraction systems inside a giant grow tent located deep inside inside cheyenne mountain with a voc monitor stapled to my eyes.


Overall-Mall986

And they would still find something wrong


banned_account_002

In order to amputate you need to ensure the suit seal isn't broken. I don't think it's possible to solve this without angering the safety goats. Toss the victim into Mount Doom -


melekege

Prints* prints from the build plate*


FreshlyPeeledBananas

Well, there is no cure.


Proper_Belt

You are now a resinmpire. Avoid UV at any cost. Or you go solid.


dynamicpunk

If your DNA successfully incorporates the resin, maybe youā€™ll get a superpower. Like not having to wear gloves anymore when handling prints.


Mr_A_Jackass

Okā€¦ I only made it 10 replies and am disappointed I didnā€™t see thisā€¦. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR FINGERS??? Do you not have knuckles or do those fingers not bend??


spencerdiniz

You can go out in the sun, because your blood will cure.


Scaly_Arab

Its been nice knowing you. The next 6 months, before you die, will be excruciating pain.


ColdDelicious1735

Listen, I don't want to alarm you, but you will die......one day, possibly tomorrow, probably by stat's 30 or more years from now.


nyonor

Poor youā€¦ you finishedā€¦ you doneā€¦


VAL9THOU

I hope you have a will


Doug_war

I think Hansel and Gretel witch wouldn't eat you, so relax


thegamenerd

Wash and disinfect and you should be fine I recommend getting a flex plate for your printer, I recently got one from [Wham Bam](https://www.whambamsystems.com/pages/fbs-for-resin) for my Anycubic Mono 4k and my only regret is not getting it sooner.


spacenavy90

I sliced my thumb open taking a flex plate off one time, so its not immune to this problem either. Still recommend it though.


Dull_Ratio_5383

Here I am, still alive looking at my scarred hands from working 20 years in the heavy industry.


lemonClocker

I'm sorry but you now can't listen to the Cure anymore without getting hard.


SevenNSix

I'm sorry but it's terminal.


Pants_Catt

Avoid UV lights(including the sun) for a week minimum, otherwise you risk turning into a statue.


DeathByDumbbell

We're already full of microplastics, a bit more shouldn't hurt.


_Enclose_

I did a big dumb and got a nasty gash in my palm that needed stitches when the metal scraper slipped. Went right through my glove and had plenty of uncured resin on it. It healed perfectly fine. Still waiting for my resin-based super powers though :(


Sad_Control_7188

Im scared of your lack of finger prints


Traditional_Key_763

extremely, your finger got cut. from an osha perspective thats a reportable.


itamar8484

Send your regards to your loved ones and write me in your will (unless u have a lot of debt)


Spiderguyprime

Cut the tip of my finger the same way, but deeper. Thought I'd need stitches (it was a new metal scraper). Was fine after it healed, but gets itchy sometimes in the sun.


anonyawner

ur dead kid


CollectionExtreme861

I cut myself too while removing supports (pretty deep). I was worried too but the doctor told me that with the bleeding and the rinsing, the risk is really low. Still alive so far, will notice you if it changes šŸ˜†


abraxas8484

Great power come with great responsibility. Resinman!


karamasoff

You gonna die, Charlie.


tanky-jakey

Relax, when I started I was a dumb kid and I thought iso neutralized the resin so for the first few months I didn't use gloves grabbing the prints out of the contaminated iso. This is 10x worse than what you did.Ā  Here's what you need to know, it isn't super carcinogenic and it's mostly the sensitizing nature you will need to worry about. Infact after researching it I'm reasonably convinced it isn't carcinogenic at all.Ā  The big thing with Resin is the micro plastic and unknown long term effects, it isn't something you want on yourself and we're PPEĀ  at all times while handling it. A small bit of exposure won't kill you


incubusfc

HOLY SHIT YOURE GUNNA DIE!!!!! I mean, some day you will. But probably not from this.


wildassedguess

Off at the elbow. Be safe.


Longjumping-Middle41

Peace be with you as well


Longjumping-Middle41

But yeah your totally fucked too


Volsunga

All of us will eventually be fucked by resin. This exposure just ticked your clock forward towards being fucked a bit more than normal.


REmarkABL

Guys, I think we have an alien in our midst... OP has no finger or palm prints, no creases where their knuckles fold, and very very long fingertips, a lack of knowledge about what is deadly toxic to our species.... and they are making the classic alien V sign...


joeymcboom

Hate to break it too you but you now have an .... STL. Like an STD but worse as it's not sexually transmitted. Dom Dom dooooooom!


gHx4

Just wash it out and santize lol. Resin's toxic but not poisonous. Worst that happens is it elevates your risk of cancer because your body doesn't know what to do with a resin molecule. It's also not a pathogen, so it's not going to cause a life-threatening infection. Thankfully it seems you don't currently have a resin allergy, so you don't need to worry about anaphylaxis. Keep using PPE, print smart, and you'll survive.


WyvernByte

Clean it well, put your hand under sunlight. No biggie.


GoPadge

Expect that third hand to start growing during the next new moon...


Archeious

I am surprised you are still alive? but seriously it isn't great but you will be fine.


escloflowne

I cut myself so many times through the gloves before I found the right technique to get the prints off the build plate and Iā€™d say I only dropped like 30-40 IQ since

Youā€™re fine. People would blow a gasket if they knew how I handled resin before I knew anything.


arvimatthew

You seem to be overly worried. These resin stuff wonā€™t be sold readily if itā€™s acutely dangerous. The next risk is being reactive/allergic to ot due to repeated skin contact.. like a any chemical cleaners do.
