This is a DIY PAPR () HEPA filtered air is blown in under pressure, exhalation passes through a check valve and is directed out the P100 3M filter. Potentially for high-risk environments- testing it without a CO2 sensor is also a good way to kill yourself.

Praxis on this is dangerous. Don't smooth prints with uncured UV resin and absolutely do not aerosolize it. In liquid state photoploymer resin is a major skin and lung irritant and will remain that way for a very long time if not cured adequately

Fellow makers, STOP ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO AIRBRUSH UV RESIN. Aerosolized resin is extremely bad for your skin, your lungs, and will get on EVERYTHING in a 10' radius.
