11 months agoFrom my very limited knowledge in 3D printing and the types of solvents used, most contain things like acrolein and acetone, both of which are known toxins. So yes, this is a health risk without proper ventilation and I’m guessing your office doesn’t have that. I’d bring this up immediately with your boss and if you have the original containers the solvents came in, check for ingredients and potential health hazards.
I corrected it to toxins, as acetone can still be harmful. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
