    Eh, depends on where you’re at and what your place is like. I have a spare room that isn’t actively used daily by anyone, so with my Elegoo Mars 4 it’s only an issue when removing the finished piece and post-processing/cleaning the machine.

    If it more effort? Of course. Does it actually mean much more work? Not really, just a bit more planning. It’s only the liquid resin that’s a fume issue. Even then, there’s a powered fan/carbon filter that removes the vast majority from the air before it can even leave the machine. Then the piece cleaning just takes a few minutes in a sonic bath, and draining unused resin filtered back into the sealed bottle. After that there’s no fume issue for any other post-processing like UV Curing that the piece needs.
