I started resin printing and I am wondering if you guys use a full on resperator (if so is their a specific classification you'd recommend?) Or do you just use a cloth / surgical mask?

So far I have been using the mask that came with my printer (Elegoo mars 3 pro) but and not sure if that is sufficient.

Ventilation is key. If you can exhaust the fumes to a window with a fan that would be ideal, and a respirator should be a secondary option. Though if you must, you need something with OV on it for organic vapours.
