When I came into my office this morning, I found that my boss moved his resin printer into my office and the setup reeks of solvent (it smells like a hundred uncapped expos). Are these fumes fine? Or am I gonna end up with half a melted brain by the end of the week?

I definitely don't think it's overkill.

If I'm not actively venting my resin printer, it will irritate my lungs instantly once i enter the room. Those fumes don't fuck around, and at least from what I've heard, the effects will actually get worse the more you're exposed over time.
