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.

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.
